Tom Brady is currently in his final year with the Tampa Bay team and he will become a free agent after the season ends. Meanwhile, there are plenty of speculations circulating about the next chapter of his life after this season. According to the latest rumors, he could go back to the Patriots and possibly reunite with the head coach, Bill Belichick.
According to a recent article by The Athletic, the Patriots could sign the 45-year-old quarterback from Tampa and Cam Jones could also leave New England in the process. Meanwhile, NFL fans, particularly the Patriots fans, are not happy with this news, as they are in disbelief.

NFL fans react to Tom Brady and the Patriots rumors
Earlier, NFL journalist Dov Kleiman posted The Athletic article on his official Twitter handle. Since then, the fans on Twitter are refusing to believe that there’s a possibility of a Brady-Belichick reunion in 2023. One particular fan suggested Brady retire and possibly go back to his ex-wife, Gisele Bündchen.
I think the smarter move would for him to retire and return to Gisele

One fan questions whether Belichick would take Brady back.
You think Bill would take him 😂

Another fan thinks retirement would be a wise decision for Brady at this point in his career.
Brady should be wise enough to finally retire after this season.

Meanwhile, one Patriots fan clearly doesn’t want this move to happen.
I’m a huge patriots fan and I don’t want this. We are back to square one again once Brady retires. Keep Mac and let him grow!
— Chelsea Troyer (@ChelseaLeuenbe3) November 30, 2022
Another Patriots fan disapproves of this news and called Brady ‘Washed up’.
Why would the Patriots want an even more washed up version of Brady, they let him go after 2019. Zero chance Belichick wants him back. Tom Brady future Carolina Panther, it’s so pathetic

One Fan thinks this move makes no sense.
This makes no sense. There's clearly higher priorities on the roster

Another Twitter user thinks the Brady era is over.
Dov I know you’re a pats fan, but the Brady era is over. It’s “possible” but there are several other teams he could go to if he leaves the bucs.
— Big 4horry (@B4horry) November 30, 2022
Meanwhile, fans on Twitter are backing Mac Jones to carry on for the Patriots even if Brady comes back to New England.
Don’t think Mac should be traded. Would have him learn from Brady for a year, let Brady retire, and see how Mac performs.

One particular Twitter user mocks Brady for struggling in the NFC.
Lmao a 50 year old Brady going to the toughest division in all of football when he is struggling to win the NFC south 🤣

On the other hand, one fan posted some statistics regarding the offensive situation in Tampa compared to the Patriots.
Patriots got way better WR, TE, RB core than tampa. Better Oline as well.
Tampa this yr ranks
23rd in WR core
32nd in TE core
32nd in RB core
27th in pass pro
29th in run blocking
Patriots are a far better situation. Just got a bad QB.— Eric (@EltonPuka) November 30, 2022
One fan shared a hilarious gif predicting the future of Brady with the Patriots.

Whereas, one Twitter user suggested Brady change sports after the 2022-23 season.
Yeah and Tom Brady could quit football and give basketball a go ast starting point guard for the Celtics. That’s about as much speculation as this article smhhh
