Tom Brady is seemingly hopping onto an AFC West team’s bandwagon heading into the playoffs. On Thursday, the former New England Patriots quarterback/Fox analyst revealed his latest power rankings.

In recent months, the 49ers have made adjustments to the contracts for both wide receiver Deebo Samuel and defensive tackle Javon Hargrave, per ESPN’s Nick Wagoner.

In the offseason ahead of the 2024-25 NFL season, there was a belief that some veteran running backs like Derrick Henry, Saquon Barkley and others were too expensive to keep. As a result, there are probably a few GM’s in the NFL that sympathize with the sleepless nights of New
