Super Bowl Domination

Chapter 1560 A New Era
Various speculations, inferences, and heated discussions intertwined and evolved into a storm that swept across the entire alliance.

However, the rumors remained just that – rumors. Neither the Tampa Bay pirates nor Brady responded, and an unsettling silence prevailed.

Although Ian Rapoport and Tom Pellicero are both official NFL reporters, Blair Butt's willingness to make those remarks "within the league" suggests that things are almost certainly true; however, without official confirmation, the crucial final step of signing and stamping is still missing.

Previously, within a mere 24 hours, news came one after another, overwhelming us with almost no time to catch our breath; it was a constant barrage of news. However, after Rapoporte and Pericello revealed the Tampa Bay pirates and the precise signing figures, the world suddenly fell silent—

There was complete silence, an eerie stillness.

Everything was so quiet that one couldn't help but want to shake the Tampa Bay pirates or Brady and shout, "Say something! Hey, say something!"

However, they remained silent, as if the Tampa Bay pirates and Brady had completely vanished from the wave of fervor, leaving everyone standing there in the cold.

This drying process lasted for more than forty-eight hours.

Finally, just before the silence was about to suffocate, the official social media account of the Tampa Bay Pirates broke the deadlock.

"Official announcement: We've signed Tom Brady! Go, Pirates!"

Shortly after, Brady posted a photo of himself holding a Tampa Bay Buccaneers jersey, smiling broadly as if to confirm the news, putting an end to the widespread rumors.

The storm finally arrived.

The era of the New England Patriots, led by Billy C. Brady, came to an end, while the Tampa Bay Pirates rose to prominence and disrupted the league landscape.

reason?

Tom Brady's move from the American League to the National League has made the already chaotic National League even more exciting. With three elite quarterbacks—Drew Brees, Aaron Rodgers, and Tom Brady—all gathered in the National League, the league, which has long been criticized for its strong defense but weak offense, is about to enter a new era.

Especially the League of Nations South District—

The New Orleans Saints have a second elite quarterback in their division after Brees, and the narrow division is about to witness a fierce battle between two titans. The two regular season matchups between Brees and Brady will undoubtedly be the focus.

The Carolina Panthers, a team that has been adjusting and recovering since their devastating Super Bowl XL50 defeat, have had no room to breathe, and now Brady has to join in the fun. It's incredibly annoying.

Atlanta Falcon: Heh.

If the Carolina Panthers are in a bad situation, what about the Atlanta Falcons? After suffering an epic comeback defeat at the hands of Brady in Super Bowl L1, they have yet to recover. The "Super Bowl runner-up curse" continues, and the long slump seems endless. Now they have to face Brady twice in one season?

Matt Lane: Calculate the area of ​​your psychological trauma right now.

In recent years, the competition in the NL South has been fierce and closely contested. Now, even the last remaining bottom-ranked team has successfully turned the tide and has a chance to challenge the NL North's long-held title of "death zone" this season.

Some are happy, some are sad; some laugh, some cry.

In the midst of this, Gallopolo: Oh yeah, yeah yeah yeah yeah! He ran wildly, did somersaults, spun around, and jumped, dancing wildly.

The commotion has only just begun.

Without a doubt, the 2020 offseason has just begun, and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers have already taken the lead, gaining momentum and taking the lead in the Super Bowl race.

So here's the question—in the playoffs of this season that just ended, veterans led by Brady and Brees were all eliminated, and the middle generation represented by Rogers also stopped. In the end, the Super Bowl witnessed the golden boy battle of "Leeway vs. Garoppolo". Everyone was exclaiming that the league was about to usher in a new era.

As it turned out, the new era truly arrived, and everything came true.

So, what now?

After the league landscape was reshuffled, Brady and Arians' reunion with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers is just like the Los Angeles Rams recruiting and gathering a group of mercenaries in an attempt to make a run for the Super Bowl. Can they sound the horn of counterattack and let the veterans shine their last glimmer of hope before the young players take over the league?
With Brady full of ambition, Bryce sharpening his knives, Rogers biding his time, and so on, can they hit rock bottom and launch a strong counterattack?

The competition and suspense of the NFL are back in an instant, and who could resist?
I'm a little excited.

Last season, Levi's contract extension and Andrew Luck's sudden retirement shocked the league one after another, but all of that paled in comparison to this year's developments. First came Mahomes' contract extension, then Brady's transfer, and the quarterbacks' major moves quickly drew the attention of the entire league.

Clearly, the ripple effects of the Kansas City Chiefs' three-peat are only just beginning.

In this wave, news of Hopkins' departure to the Arizona Cardinals and the chaos in the Houston Texans' locker room has long lost its appeal.

However, not everyone.

Within the league, there are always professionals closely monitoring every move of the news, and they are the first to spot the coming of another storm.

Ian Rapoport: "According to inside sources, Watt has reached an agreement with the Houston Texans front office to end his time in Houston."

Amidst the barrage of messages, people have begun to slowly adapt to the intensity, their nerves are numb, their reactions are sluggish, and they can't keep up for a while:

Ha, what does that sentence mean?
Tom Pellicero: "It's been confirmed that the Houston Texans are open to inquiries from any interested players and have allowed Watt to begin negotiations."

Is Houston Texans icon JJ Watt about to leave?

Everyone:...

It was only at this point that people realized the conflict between Watt and O'Brien was more serious than they had imagined. Even with all the Houston fans mobilized, they were still unable to salvage the situation. Following Hopkins, the Houston Texans, who had made a historic run to the conference finals last season, lost another key player.

Whether it's a generational shift or a process of innovation, the league's landscape has been completely disrupted. With two iconic figures leaving, the NFL has entered a new era.

The Kansas Chiefs are the undisputed frontrunners.

The question now is, who can stand out and catch up with the Kansas Chiefs?
Philadelphia Eagles? Los Angeles Rams? San Francisco 49ers?
Or other teams, such as the Tampa Bay Buccaneers who just got Brady, or whoever is about to get Watt?

The new season has only just begun, but discussions surrounding competition, rivalry, and the Super Bowl are already in full swing and spreading rapidly.

Fresh, unfamiliar, and unknown, but at the same time, it also means that anything is possible.

Then, Watt himself uploaded a video stating:
He sat down with the team owner for a sincere and in-depth conversation, and they eventually reached a consensus that now was the best time to part ways and look to the future.

He sincerely thanks the people of Houston for everything they have done for him and will always remember it.

Official announcement! The conclusion is reached!
