In the office, at home, on the phone with friends, on the radio, tv…it’s what everyone is talking about. And we can’t help ourselves. We all want to jump in on the “what’s next for Tom Brady” thread.
Sure, we can speculate all we want. But we won’t know until Tom tells us. So, in the meantime, to feed our fantasies, let’s take a look at what’s being said by pros, fans, friends and everyone else. Will he return to the field? And if so, will he consider New England? (fingers and toes are crossed). What about Vegas? Wait, what about all the money waiting for him at the Fox Sports desk?
Limber up, and jump in. Here we go!
Where Brady is likely NOT going
Multiple sources say…not Tampa Bay
If Tom Brady is going to return for a 24th year in the #NFL, some of his #Bucs teammates don’t seem to think it won’t be with Tampa Bay. Multiple players got the sense, from their final interactions of the season with Brady, that he has no intention to return, per @rapsheet 😳🤯.

What he said…

Says he thinks Tom Brady is going to keep playing, and gives Tennessee as a logical landing spot. https://t.co/TCjVI8DZY6What Gronk said
Wait. What DID he say exactly? He is going to play? He isn’t and can work the sports desk? Playing both sides of the fence

He gets to decide whether to continue his football career OR accept the offer from Fox Sports to be a football analyst for $350 million dollars.
Not such a bad outcome. 🤔Odds are on...

Tom Brady to Jim Gray on his Let's Go! podcast about whether he will play in 2023:

“If I knew what I was going to f--king do I would’ve already f--king done it. I’m taking it a day at a time.
"I appreciate you asking. Thank you.''
Via @NFLSTROUD.What's really next?
Brady said what’s next is “a good night’s rest”
Tom Brady says that he will go home and get a good night’s rest and a decision will come later.
