Dominate the Super Bowl-Chapter 1560 - 1559: A New Era

All kinds of speculations, all kinds of inferences, all kinds of heated discussions intertwined and evolved into a storm, sweeping across the entire League.

However, the rumors remained just rumors, with neither the Tampa Bay Buccaneers nor Brady giving any response, leaving an abnormal silence in the air.

Although Ian Rapoport and Tom Pelissero are official NFL reporters, Blair Bart dared to say those words "within the League," which indicated that everything was almost confirmed; but without official confirmation, the decisive step of signing and sealing was missing.

Earlier, within just twenty-four hours, one piece of news followed another, leaving little time to breathe, creating a sense of "one wave after another without stopping"; but when Rapoport and Pelissero broke the news about the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and the exact signing figures, the world suddenly went quiet—

Dead silence, eerily quiet.

Everything was so quiet that people couldn’t help but want to shake the Tampa Bay Buccaneers or Brady, "Say something? Hey, say something!"

However, there was still silence, as if the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and Brady had disappeared completely from this wave of frenzy, leaving everyone hanging.

This hang lasted for more than forty-eight hours.

Finally, at the end of the silence, just as people were almost suffocating, the official account of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on social media broke the deadlock.

"Official: We signed Tom Brady! Go, Buccaneers!"

Soon after, Brady also posted a photo of himself holding a Tampa Bay Buccaneers jersey, smiling broadly, confirming the news and putting an end to the swirling rumors.

The storm had finally arrived.

The New England Patriots’ era with Belichick and the Brady Dynasty had come to an end, and now the Tampa Bay Buccaneers were rising strongly to disrupt the League’s structure.

Why?

Brady joining the National Conference from the American League was already causing chaos in the already tumultuous National Conference. Now, with Drew Brees, Aaron Rodgers, and Tom Brady, three elite quarterbacks are all in the National Conference, which has always been criticized for strong defense and weak offense; it’s about to enter a new era.

Especially in the National League South—

The New Orleans Saints, after Brees, now have a second elite quarterback in the division, and the narrow division is about to witness a life-and-death competition between the strong, with "Brees VS Brady" in the regular season twice undoubtedly becoming the focus.

The Carolina Panthers, who have been adjusting and recovering since their crushing defeat at the 50th Super Bowl, now have no room to breathe with Brady joining the fray, it’s simply annoying.

The Atlanta Falcons: Ha.

If the Carolina Panthers are in a bad situation, then what about the Atlanta Falcons? After suffering an epic comeback by Brady in the 51st Super Bowl, they have not recovered ever since. The "Super Bowl Runner-Up Curse" lingers, and the long period of decline shows no end, and now they have to face Brady twice a season?

Matt Ryan: Calculate my current psychological shadow size.

In recent years, the competition in the National League South has always been fierce and hard to distinguish, and now even the last weak team has successfully turned the tables, with hopes of challenging the National League North’s long-held title as the division of death.

Some people rejoice, others worry; some laugh, others cry.

Amid this, Garoppolo: Oh yeah, yay yay yay yay yay! Running wildly, flipping, spinning, jumping, dancing uncontrollably.

The commotion is only just beginning.

Undoubtedly, the 2020 offseason is just beginning, and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers have already taken the lead, making the first move in the Super Bowl race.

Then comes the question—

In the recently concluded postseason, veterans like Brady and Brees were completely eliminated, and the mid-generation represented by Rodgers also got stopped; the Super Bowl concluded with the "Li Wei VS Garoppolo" Battle of the Golden Boy, with everyone exclaiming that a new era for the League was imminent.

As a result, the new era is really here, everything has come true.

So, what about now?

After the shuffling of the League’s structure, Brady and Arians’ gathering in Tampa Bay Buccaneers, much like the Los Angeles Rams gathering a batch of mercenaries to try and push for the Super Bowl, will they be able to blow the counter-attack horn, shining the last light of the veterans before the young generation completely takes over the League?

The ambitious Brady, the sharpening Brees, the enduring Rodgers, and so on, can they make a strong comeback?

The competition and suspense belonging to the NFL have instantly returned, who could refuse? 𝒻𝓇𝑒𝘦𝘸𝑒𝒷𝓃ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝒸ℴ𝘮

A little bit excited.

The last season’s moves, such as Li Wei’s renewal and Andrew Luck’s sudden retirement, were shocking wave after wave, but they all faded compared to this year’s movements, first Mahomes’ renewal, then Brady’s transfer. The quarterback’s heavy actions have early on sparked a reaction throughout the League.

Clearly, the chain reaction brought on by the Kansas City Chiefs’ three-peat is just the beginning.

Amid this wave, Hopkins’ departure to the Arizona Cardinals and the chaotic locker room news of the Houston Texans have long lost their appeal.

However, not everyone.

In the League, there are always professionals closely monitoring every move, capturing the coming of another stormy wave at the first opportunity.

Ian Rapoport, "According to inside sources, Watt has reached an agreement with the Houston Texans’ management, ending his days in Houston."

Amidst the relentless bombardment of news, people are slowly adapting to the intensity, nerves dulled, reactions sluggish, for a moment they can’t keep up:

Ha, what does this sentence mean?

Tom Pelissero, "The matter has been confirmed, the Houston Texans are accepting inquiries from interested players and are allowing Watt to start negotiations."

The iconic figure of the Houston Texans, JJ Watt, is about to transfer and leave?

Everyone: ...

Only until now did people realize that the conflict between Watt and O’Brien was more serious than imagined, even with all Houston fans involved, they still couldn’t turn the situation around. Following Hopkins, last season’s historic entry into the Conference Finals, the Houston Texans are losing another great player.

New blood or not, innovating or not, the League’s structure is completely disrupted, with two iconic figures both leaving, the NFL has entered a new epoch—

Kansas City Chiefs, undoubtedly the frontrunners.

The question now is, who can stand out and follow the Kansas City Chiefs’ footsteps?

Philadelphia Eagles? Los Angeles Rams? San Francisco 49ers?

Or other teams, such as the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, who just acquired Brady, or whoever is about to acquire Watt?

The new season has just begun, and discussions surrounding competition, confrontation, and the Super Bowl have already started spreading in earnest, thrilling and inexhaustible.

Fresh, unfamiliar, unknown, but at the same time, it represents that anything is possible.

Then, Watt himself uploaded a video expressing:

He sat down with the team’s owner for a sincere and in-depth talk, and finally, both sides reached a consensus, now is the best time to part ways and look forward to the future.

He sincerely thanked the Houston Texans for everything and would always keep it in his memory.

Officially announced! Finalized!
