NFC Notes: Tom Brady, Buccaneers, Falcons, Saints

Buccaneers

Buccaneers QB Tom Brady admitted that he knows he doesnโ€™t have a lot of football left and that heโ€™s at the end of his career. 

โ€œI know I donโ€™t have a lot left, I really do. I know Iโ€™m at the end of my career,โ€ Brady said, via ESPN.com. โ€œI wish you could go forever, but itโ€™s just not and football comes at too high of a cost now. My kids are getting older and itโ€™s just getting harder and harder to miss these things.

โ€œBut, I wanted to give myself and my teammates and our organization another incredible opportunity to accomplish something that weโ€™d all be very proud of.โ€

Brady says he knew his body could still play and he โ€œfelt like there was still a place for me on the field.โ€

โ€œI knew my body, physically, could still do what it could do and obviously I have a love for the game, I think Iโ€™ll always have a love for the game,โ€ Brady said. โ€œI do think physically Iโ€™ll be able to do it. I just felt like there was still a place for me on the field.โ€

Falcons

Falcons OT Jake Matthews is feeling โ€œreally optimisticโ€ about the teamโ€™s upcoming season and doesnโ€™t think that they are in a rebuilding phase. 

โ€œItโ€™s exciting what we got going on here,โ€ Matthews said, via Gabriel Burns of the Atlanta Journal-Constitution. โ€œIโ€™m really optimistic about whatโ€™s going on and the thing weโ€™re building. We have high expectations for ourselves, thereโ€™s no doubt, this year. We donโ€™t look at it as a rebuilding year or anything like that.โ€

Saints

  • Regarding the Saints hosting veteran WR Jarvis Landry for a visit, NFL Mediaโ€™s Ian Rapoport points out that the team still needs a slot receiver but it seems that New Orleans is currently doing their โ€œdue diligenceโ€ on Landry as opposed to imminently signing him. 
  • Rapoport could see Landry making his decision shortly prior to the 2022 NFL Draft or sometime afterward. Heโ€™s considering the Browns as well as the Saints. 
  • The Saints had a private workout with Houston DL Logan Hall. (Aaron Wilson)
