After spending the last two seasons with the Buccaneers could Brady play for the enemy? The Saints make sense for Brady because of Sean Payton. Yes, Payton. The two were rumored to Miami t one point, costing the Fina a first-round pick. Why go to Miami when they stay in NO?

The Saints have the weapons. Michael Thomas wants out, but if Brady opts in, along with his former head coach, he’ll change his mind. Even if he doesn’t, they have Chris Olave — he is a stud who proved he can ball no matter who the quarterback is. Imagine the magic Brady and Olave could create. Jarvis Landry is a free agent, but he could return. He’s the ideal slot wideout Brady is used to having.

The offensive line is shaky, which could be a problem. However, Brady gets rid of the ball quickly. And let’s not forget about running back Alvin Kamara, who has been one of the most productive backs in the league over the past few seasons. Kamara is a dual-threat back who can catch the ball out of the backfield and provide a safety valve for Brady, something he didn’t have in Tampa.

Brady’s veteran leadership and experience and knowledge could mentor a young quarterback. The Saints could opt to draft a guy or sign someone like Gardner Minshew. The Saints have a stellar defense that makes them a team that is built to win now. Brady gives them a chance to compete for a Super Bowl.
