The shifting NFL offseason quarterback market is the most interesting aspect to Tom Brady’s retirement. SandoNFL explains how the Buccaneers, 49ers, Raiders, Jimmy Garoppolo and Aaron Rodgers all could feel the fallout.
Entrusting the championship hopes of such a loaded roster on a quarterback room featuring only Purdy and Lance, who have combined to finish eight of the 10 total career starts they have made, counting playoffs, could qualify as organizational malpractice.
Even if Brady’s skills had diminished, which can be debated, signing him would have signaled to the 49ers’ locker room that the team remains serious about winning it all. San Francisco made a similar statement by acquiring McCaffrey during the season. Signing Brady would have sent the same message, in an exponentially louder voice.
If Brady is out of the picture, do the 49ers ask Brady’s agent, Don Yee, whether he has any other clients who might be interested in helping out at the position? Yee does represent Jimmy Garoppolo, after all, and after Garoppolo acquitted himself so professionally under strange circumstances this past season, might he consider stepping back into the fold in the 49ers’ hour of need? Purdy and Lance would continue in their rehabs, returning whenever they are ready.
If Brady’s retirement prevents San Francisco from realistically pursuing a top-tier quarterback, there is no better Tier 2-3 option than the one with a 42-19 starting record with the 49ers since 2017, including 7-3 last season, before Garoppolo was injured.Before the 49ers’ quarterback situation became such a concern, the Raiders were seen as the most logical destination for Brady if he decided to keep playing.
