Former NFL Quarterback Confirms Miami Dolphins’ Plan to Unite Tom Brady and Sean Payton: ”It Was a Very Real, Tangible Thing”

Tom Brady had announced his retirement from the NFL following his team’s playoff elimination against the Rams. His retirement decision came as a shock for many people around the world. Notably, because he was still playing at a high-level last season.

However, Brady didn’t disappoint his fans and came back to play for the next season. Tom Brady will again be a part of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in the upcoming season. Unsurprisingly, Brady is looking forward to winning another Super Bowl for the Bucs.

Many people already know that Brady had a plan to play somewhere other than Tampa Bay. People found out Brady was supposed to end up with Sean Payton in Miami through early reports. However, that plan fell through in between due to Brian Flores’ lawsuit.

Former NFL Quarterback Chris Simms appeared in a podcast and gave us all the details about Brady’s potential move to the Miami Dolphins.

He said, “They were going to trade a second-round pick to Tampa Bay to get Brady. [The Bucs] weren’t going to hold him hostage. Sean Payton and the Saints, that was going to be a first-round pick to get that deal done,” 

Chris further said, “It was a very real, tangible thing and the Brian Flores lawsuit definitely threw a wrench in it.” If Brian Flores hadn’t filed a lawsuit against the owner of Miami, Brady and Payton would have been playing for the team from South Beach.

Will Brady still pursue the Dolphins?

When it comes to Tom Brady, expect the unexpected. Nobody thought that he would retire after last season. Unsurprisingly, nobody thought that he would come back this soon. As a result, it is quite hard to predict what he will be up to next season.

There are many conversations that indicate that this might be his last season in the NFL. However, if he plays like he played last season, we might very well see him continuing to play.

Following the end of his contract with the Bucs, he might join the Dolphins. The Miami Dolphins have built a great team around their quarterback Tua Tagovailoa, and if he cannot fulfill expectations, we might see Brady replacing him.
