Brady to Raiders? It could happen

How could the Las Vegas Raiders upstage the biggest sporting event of the year? By leaking that they’re primed to pursue Tom Brady, how else? We don’t know that the Raiders let slip the news on Super Bowl Sunday but who else would have the inside knowledge and the incentive to do it? If the Malosos want to make a Brady-to-Vegas deal happen for a certainty they could give Coach Jon Gruden the sack (which would be hella expensive) and hire Josh McDaniels instead. But ESPN makes a convincing case for why Gruden could sweet-talk Brady and how the 7-9 Raiders would offer the legendary QB a promising array of weapons. The team has to do something to make their 2020 more auspicious than their perfunctory exit from Oakland was. Us, we think Brady is likelier than not to return to the New England Patriots but seeing him in the silver and black would give the Raiders and Las Vegas—think all those extra fannies in the seats—a shot in the arm.
