Welcome to the Tuesday edition of the Pick Six newsletter!Actually, today is not Tuesday, it is technically Tomsday, and that's because decided to make himself the biggest story of the day by announcing that he's going to be taking an announcing job with Fox Sports whenever he decides to retire. Of course, the joke here is on Fox Sports because Brady is never going to retire.Brady has been down on his luck for so long that I'm glad to see he'll be landing on his feet in retirement. That being said, it would have been nice if you could've waited until next week to announce this news, Tom. As I wrote yesterday, the release is my favorite event of the offseason, and now, Brady is trying to overshadow it. STOP TRYING TO OVERSHADOW THE SCHEDULE RELEASE, TOM.Although I'm not happy with Brady right now, we'll be covering his new job in full today, plus we'll also have every team's strength of schedule for 2022.As always, here's your weekly reminder to tell all your friends to sign up for the newsletter. All you have to https://www.shopprodevils.com/blake-coleman-kids-jersey do is . Alright, let's get to the rundown. 1. Today's show: Will the make a play for ?For today's episode of the Pick Six podcast, I joined Will Brinson for 30 minutes of fun where we talked about the latest . The topic we spent the most time on was Pete Carroll and whether we believe his recent comments that the Seahawks have no plans to trade for a veteran quarterback.During a recent interview, Carroll said the Seahawks probably wouldn't make a trade for a QB."We're looking, (but) I don't see us making ," Carroll said. "I don't see that happening." So does this rule out Baker Mayfield?Despite those comments, Brinson and I still both think there's a simple way Mayfield could end up in Seattle. Carroll doesn't want to trade for a QB, but he didn't rule out signing one and that could happen if Mayfield gets cut by the . When it comes to trading partners, the Browns don't have a lot of options right https://www.shopprodevils.com/jack-hughes-men-jersey now, and at some point down the road, they might eventually feel that releasing Mayfield is the best way to go. If that happens, it wouldn't be surprising to see the Seahawks try to land him.The same thing could happen with . If the end up releasing him because they can't find a trade partner, the Seahawks would almost certainly give him a call.For this episode of the pod, we also talked about where several free agent receivers -- like , and -- might end up. If you want to know where they could be headed, then be so you can listen to today's podcast. You can also . 2. Tom Brady set to join Fox Sports once he retiresTom Brady hasn't even retired yet, but he already has a post- job lined up for whenever that happens. In a surprising announcement, the quarterback that he'll be joining Fox Sports once his football career is over. The deal is for 10 years and is worth a whopping $375 million, according to the , making it by far the largest deal in sportscasting history. (For context, both CBS' and ESPN's Troy Aikman make about $18 million per season. Brady is set to make more than double that at $37.5 million.)Here's what we know so far about Brady's new job:He won't be starting with Fox anytime soon. One thing both sides made clear is that Brady won't be joining Fox until after he retires. Basically, this means we might not see Brady in the announcing booth for two or three years. A suming he retires after this season, his first year with Fox would be in 2023. If Brady plays two more years, then we wouldn't be calling his first game until 2024. And let's be honest, by the time Brady retires, football might not even exist anymore, which means there would be no job to take.Brady will join the No. 1 announcing team. For the https://www.shopprodevils.com/pavel-zacha-kids-jersey past 20 years, Joe Buck and Troy Aikman made up the No. 1 announcing team at Fox, but with both guys now at ESPN, the network had a gaping hole to fill. Kevin Burkhardt will while Brady will eventually slide in next to him (Fox hasn't announced who will be filling Aikman's spot in 2022). Fox is airing two of the next three Super Bowls (2022, 2024) so if Brady does retire after this season, he would get to announce a Super Bowl following the 2024 season.Fox will be using Brady in multiple roles. Fox CEO Lachlan Murdoch basically expects Brady to , "Tom will not only call our biggest NFL games with https://www.shopprodevils.com/corey-schneider-jersey Kevin Burkhardt, but will also serve as an amba sador for us, particularly with respect to client and promotional initiatives," Murdoch said.If you're wondering how this all came together, it seems that Fox during his short retirement and although Brady ended up returning to football, Fox was clearly able to give him a deal he couldn't turn down. 3. 2021 NFL strength of schedule for all 32 teamsWith the NFL schedule being released this week, now seems like a good time to take a look at the strength of schedule for each team heading into 2022, so that's exactly what we're going to do. Based on the final standings from 2021, the will be going into the upcoming season with toughest strength of schedule.It's been nearly 20 years since the NFL has seen a team win back-to-back Super Bowls, and based on this year's strength of schedule, that's a drought that likely isn't going to end this season. The Rams have an SOS of .567, which not only gives them the most difficult schedule in 2022, but it makes them one of only two teams in the NFL -- along with the -- that will have a strength of schedule above .540.The Rams' rough schedule includes 10 games against playoff teams from last season, which is the most in the NFL. The Rams' road schedule is especially brutal with seven of the eight games against teams that finished 2021 with a winning record.
