Tom Brady will definitely be a sought-after man this off-season. The league undoubtedly has teams in dire need of a capable QB, and Brady meets those requirements like none other. The NFL rumor mill has been working overtime, especially with regard to a Brady-Raiders alliance.
But is this partnership something that is foreseeable? The QB’s response to the question is sure to stoke some fires.

They say no news is good news. Raiders fans will make it their motto, given Brady’s lack of a response to the rumors. After closing out the regular season with a loss to Patrick Mahomes’ Chiefs, the team will want to lay the foundation for a better season. When asked about the news that was making its way around town, the QB was not his most eloquent self and went with a very resigned “I don’t know”. But that sentence stirs more hope than an outright “No”. There’s no doubt that TB12 has bigger fish to fry.
But this potential move seems to make sense on a lot of fronts. For starters, Brady’s reunion with Josh McDaniels could be exciting. The duo created a legacy with New England in the past- something the Raiders will be hoping to implement. Apart from that, the team’s quarterback situation is hanging by a thread. After Derek Carr’s not-so-positive exit, they have a lot of consideration ahead of them.

Brady may take his time in revealing his plans
The Raiders will not be the only team on the lookout for Brady. But can they secure the QB without having to make tough sacrifices? A majority of this issue hinges on Brady’s thoughts on the matter. With a recent update about TB12 allegedly giving a go-ahead on his Tampa Bay mansion’s construction, there are other complications to consider.
Is the seven-time Super Bowl champion trying to lay roots with the Buccaneers? Will the QB retire in Tampa Bay? Tom Brady’s elusive answers do not help the situation. With the QB’s excellent poker face, the NFL world can’t help but speculate if TB12 is headed to sin city.
