If Tom Brady does indeed leave the New England Patriots, a popular Boston radio host thinks he has the perfect replacement for him to take over.
Just know that this move will not go over with the people in New England.
Sports radio firebrand Michael Felger of the Felger & Mazz show on 98.5 The Sports Hub understood he would get backlash for this, but he threw it out anyway when he suggested that the Patriots bring in New York Giants quarterback Eli Manning.

“Like what if he came in real cheap? What if Eli Manning came to you dirt cheap, and $5 million for him is dirt cheap. I just pulled that number out of my ass, I don’t know, maybe $7 million. What if Eli Manning came to you for under $10 million?”
Eli lost his starting gig in 2019 and only returned to the lineup for two games because Daniel Jones was nursing an injury. His time is likely up in New York as they look to the future.
Tom Brady will be 43-years-old when the 2020 season kicks off, while Eli is just 39-years-old, but his prime has been long gone and he is also a shell of himself.

Despite playing less years than Brady — Eli has 244 career interceptions, compared to just 179 for Brady. That is a huge problem for a struggling Patriots offense that does not need a QB that turns the ball over as much as Eli does.
Basically, this isn’t going to happen.
