Tom Brady's Reported Demands for Team to Sign Him Are Bold

Ahead of the start of thee new league year, ESPN's Dianna Russini offered fans some insight as to why the market for legendary quarterback Tom Brady doesn't seem to be as big as well assumed it would be. One of the main reasons? Brady's insane reported list of demands.

Russini claims that Brady wants to have some power when it comes to roster moves, and he wants the responsibility of calling his own plays.

The playcalling aspect isn't crazy, especially considering that Brady is given a great deal of freedom in the New England offense and the fact that Tampa Bay, one of his potential landing spots, is coached by a guy in Bruce Arians who is willing to relinquish control of the play-calling duties to a superstar quarterback.

The odd part is that Brady wants control over the roster. Would anyone be dumb enough to give control of the 53-man roster to a 42-year-old QB who might not even be around in a year or two?

The only two teams willing to meet those demands, according to NBC's Chris Simms, are the Patriots and Bucs. That's far from a bustling market.

TB12 has interest in playing next season, and his desire to return to the Patriots appears to be wavering. However, New England and Tampa Bay might be the only two teams willing to check all of Brady's hypothetical boxes on and off the field.
