CONFIRMED: Arizona Cardinals Release Backup QB Ryan Fitzpatrick to NFC West Rival; Sign Ex-Super Bowl Champion Tom Brady as Kyler Murray’s Backup For $225 Million In 3-Year Deal
Brady’s Stunning NFL Return Shakes Up the League
In a shocking turn of events, the Arizona Cardinals have officially announced the release of veteran quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick to a division rival and secured the blockbuster signing of legendary Super Bowl champion Tom Brady. The deal, reportedly worth $225 million over three years, marks one of the most unexpected comebacks in NFL history.
Brady, a seven-time Super Bowl champion, retired from professional football in 2023, but sources close to the organization reveal that the 47-year-old quarterback has been training rigorously in secret, preparing for a potential return. The Cardinals, looking to add experience and leadership behind Kyler Murray, saw this as the perfect opportunity to bring in the most accomplished quarterback in league history.
“This is about more than just football,” said an anonymous team insider. “Brady brings a championship mentality, leadership, and the ability to step in if needed. His presence alone will elevate the team.”
Meanwhile, Ryan Fitzpatrick, who served as the Cardinals’ backup last season, has been released and is reportedly finalizing a deal with an NFC West rival. The team has yet to confirm which franchise has acquired him, but early reports indicate it could be the San Francisco 49ers or the Seattle Seahawks.
With this shocking move, the Cardinals have sent a clear message to the league: they are willing to make bold decisions to position themselves as contenders. Fans now eagerly await to see how Brady’s presence will impact the team’s performance in the upcoming season.
