5. Indianapolis Colts
Throughout his 20-year career leading up to this point, Tom Brady has had some notable battles with many teams around the league, including the Indianapolis Colts.
Most notably when squaring up against the legendary Peyton Manning on the other side of the field when Manning was the quarterback of the Colts, Brady and Indianapolis have had some entertaining matchups over the year, especially in the postseason.

Going into the 2020 season, with the Colts currently having Jacoby Brissett as their starting quarterback following the surprising news of Andrew Luck retiring prior to the start of the 2019 campaign, Indianapolis could be an intriguing option for Brady to take his talents to this year.
At first glance, the initial reason why the Colts make sense as far as a team that Brady could jump right into and take over as quarterback of the offense is that Indianapolis, for the most part, has a fairly strong roster. That alone is something that Brady would be intrigued in as he tries to add to his already stellar resume with the potential addition of another Super Bowl title before he retires.
Within the Colts offense, the team consists of receiving targets such as T.Y. Hilton, Zach Pascal and Jack Doyle, among others, which would provide Brady with targets in the passing game, which is something he didn’t really have a whole lot of in 2019 with New England.
Indianapolis also contains a solid running game, led by running back Marlon Mack who rushed for over 1,000 yards and finished with eight rushing touchdowns during the 2019 campaign.
The talent is there if Brady would be open to joining the organization that blew the whistle on him and the Patriots to start DeflateGate a few years ago, if the veteran quarterback would be interested in taking the field for the Colts moving forward.
