Tom Brady an option for the New York Jets

Location, location, location, Brady has a five-bedroom Tribeca apartment in Manhattan. And a move to the Jets would also bring him closer to his oldest child, 15-year-old Jack. Brady has previously expressed his excitement to be able to help his son thrive in football — this gives him that chance. The Jets doesn’t only make sense for his personal life. The franchise has been starving for a consistent quarterback for years. Even at 45, Brady could be the missing piece.

One thing Brady needs is a strong offensive line — the Jets have it. PFF pass-blocking efficiency and fifth in PFF pass-blocking grade. With the addition of a quarterback like Brady, who has a quick 2.33-second average time to throw, the Jets would be able to take advantage of their strong offensive line and give Brady the protection he needs to succeed.

On offense, Brady would have an excellent running game with a returning Breece Hall, who looked like a star before his injury. Michael Carter is a tough runner who can carry the load in his absence. At wideout, Garret Wilson is a superstar in the making. He showed he can ball, no matter who the QB is — he will make Brady look good. Elijah Moore is an electric weapon at wide receiver who’d benefit from Brady’s accuracy and short passing philosophy.

During Brady’s s first Super Bowl run with the Jets, an overlooked benefit was their defense. The Jets have a defensive force to be reckoned with, boasting a talented and young core of players such as Quinnen Williams and Sauce Gardner. In case you don’t know, the defense ranked among the top in the league in most defensive categories in 2022, including sacks. The Jets have the potential to become some of the best defenses in the league again.
