Summary
Mike Sando and Randy Mueller have the latest news and notes around the NFL. Tom Brady retires and this time he says it's "for good." The guys discuss what made TB12 one of the best players of all-time. What should we expect from him in the broadcast booth? Kyle Shanahan says the 49ers will move forward at QB with Trey Lance and Brock Purdy. Was it a mistake to take Jimmy G out of the equation? Sought-after HC Sean Payton lands in Denver. Is it surprising Payton landed in the talent-rich AFC West? The guys remember Hall of Fame former GM Bobby Beathard who died Monday at the age 86. The GM notebook this week is filled with interesting tidbits about Kellen Moore's move to LA, the state of NFL officiating & more.
