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 😳🤯.

  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
