Tom Brady just finished his 23rd season in the NFL this year. While the 7-time Super Bowl champion will not have anything to show for it other than an NFC South division title with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. They finished the season with a losing record of 8-9. The team won’t be a favorite for anything going into next season, and the 45-year-old QB won’t be getting any younger.
While there are speculations over a possible retirement for TB12, a return is on the cards. But that return is more likely to be away from Tampa Bay. Multiple teams have been suggested to make a play for the GOAT. Now the player himself seems to be dropping a hint for a potential move away to a suitable destination.

There was definite interest from the Fins last year. Sean Payton and Brady were both parts of the franchise before the team’s former HC Brian Flores’ lawsuit torched the entire plan. For some people around the league, his kids are actually a factor which could come in favor of a move to the Dolphins.

Pairing up with Mike McDaniel could seem tempting for Brady. He would have weapons like Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle at his disposal. Giving him a great shot at success during the final few seasons of his career.
“If he wants to keep playing football and give himself a shot at winning one and give himself a situation where he would be set up personally in a way that pleases him, he would go to the Miami Dolphins,”

While many fans are against bringing in an aging QB, this fan has an answer for them all.
But…but…the Miami Dolphins shouldn't go after 45 year old Tom Brady. He's lost it! He's slipping.

The Dolphins still have Tua Tagovailoa. He was impressive with his performances on the field, however, his injury record remains a major concern going forward. He is currently on a rookie deal, so maybe it won’t be the worst idea to bring in someone like Brady to steady the ship for a season or two.
