The season is over for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and now all eyes are on Tom Brady. Will he return, will he sign elsewhere, or will he finally retire?
Well, it sounds like Brady’s former teammate, Julian Edelman has an idea of what he thinks the GOAT quarterback should do.
During an appearance on Inside the NFL, Edelman shared his two cents about what he thinks Tom Brady will do this offseason. It sounds like the former New England Patriots wide receiver doesn’t think Brady will retire. Instead, he thinks the future Hall of Famer will return for another season. But not with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

If that’s the case, then Brady is likely going to have plenty of options on the table come free agency. It’s already rumored that the Las Vegas Raiders and Miami Dolphins have him on their radar. Considering Tom Brady is in his mid-40s, signing a contract with a Super Bowl-caliber team is the most likely outcome if he doesn’t opt to retire.
The ideal situation would likely consist of a strong offensive line with weapons available, as well as a consistent defense. Additionally, nobody is ruling out the possibility of Tom Brady signing with a team coached by Sean Payton.
So, it will be interesting to see how the offseason unfolds, as Brady is going to garner plenty of interest. However, we won’t truly know his next move until he puts pen to paper.
