This week has been a busy one for the NFL — from the scouting combine taking place in Indianapolis, to the franchise tag window opening, to labor negotiations being one step closer to a new collective bargaining agreement. Along the way, the rumor mill kept working overtime as well, particularly in relation to the game’s biggest star: New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady, who is set to enter unrestricted free agency on March 18.
Reports out of Indianapolis painted a bleak picture, but should not necessarily be taken at face value.
