Tom Brady appears ready to hit the NFL Free Agency market for the first time in his career. And unfortunately for the New England Patriots, it is seeming more and more likely that Brady will be finishing his NFL career in another uniform.
On Thursday, February 27, the latest rumors indicated Brady has the “intention of departing” New England.
“I’m now at the point where I would be stunned if Tom Brady went back to New England,” ESPN’s Jeff Darlington said on the network’s morning show Get Up!
Darlington then added on Twitter: “I know you’ll hate me. I know you’ll tell me I’m an idiot. And I understand why it’s so hard for all of us — myself included — to start accepting this likelihood. Hey, there’s still a chance. But… the reality is… Brady is looking forward to free agency.”
Brady has heavily been linked to the Las Vegas Raiders — especially after he was spotted talking to team owner Mark Davis at a UFC event after the season. The future Hall of Famer was also linked to the Titans based off of a random internet rumor when a student at an all-boys school in Nashville wrongly stated Gisele Bundchen was seen inside of the school walking the halls.
Earlier this month, Darlington seemed to believe Tennessee was the favorite to land Brady.
“He made [Tennessee] out to be more of an option than I realized it could be,” Darlington told Eisen. “In his mind, to rank the teams right now, it would be Tennessee, Las Vegas and New England. I think we all need to pay a little more attention here to Tennessee than we thought.”
The odds from BetOnline.ag, however, have a different list of favorites in mind.
