Tom the GOAT Brady isn’t hanging up his cleats just yet, but there aren’t a lot of team vying for Brady’s services.

Tom Brady, the legendary quarterback and GOAT of the NFL, has just finished one of his most turbulent seasons with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. With his contract coming to an end, many fans are wondering if he will be back with the Bucs next season or if he’ll be playing for a new team.

Tom Brady may have a new team in the 2023 NFL season

After a disappointing playoff loss, Brady remained coy about his future plans, telling reporters “I’m going to go home and get a good night’s sleep as good as I can tonight.” However, it’s important to note that he didn’t say anything about retirement, which means that the 45-year-old may still have some gas left in the tank.

This season, the Buccaneers had an 8-9 record, and many of their stars, including Brady, didn’t perform up to par. Whether it was Father Time catching up or his off-field life affecting his game, Brady didn’t look like his usual, unflappable self. But despite this, he still broke the record for most completions and attempts this season.

If Brady decides to leave the Buccaneers, there aren’t a lot of teams who want a 45-year-old quarterback. Brady isn’t capable of uplifting talent, he needs the perfect situation if he hopes to lead a team to the Super Bowl. Regardless, Brady is one of the better quarterbacks in the league.

Some people said the Miami Dolphins. Can you imagine Brady with Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle as wideouts? Keep imagining. The Fins recently recommitted to Tua, who was playing at an MVP level. He does have the concussion problem, but unlike Brady, he’s not a statue in the pocket.

A sleeper team is the Atlanta Falcons. First, it’s in a dome, in a familiar division with no real competition. On offense, Drake London and Kyle Pitts are big and dynamic. Meanwhile, Tyler Allgeier was a pleasant surprise as a rookie. Still, it’s hard to imagine Brady going to Atlanta.
