They have until April 1 to cut him loose with no cap hit. I guess now I understand why there were Brady rumors other than wishful thinking on the part of some fans. For arguments sake, say a 43 year old Brady could manage the team like Jimmy G and actually make a throw when it counts. And say, for arguments sake, Brady would come cheap. The 49ers could use some of the money saved to bring back Armstead and some OL depth. This is interesting.
