Sean Payton On Potentially Coaching Tom Brady in his 24th NFL Season- “There is a Good Chance that if We Work Together…”

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers can have a relaxing day on the beaches of Florida. The team has already wrapped up the NFC South division title and with that, their playoff spot. So for them, the real action starts in the wild-card round of the postseason. However, everyone knows, there will be one person in the camp who would be rallying his team around to get things right before the season ends.

Tom Brady is playing his 23rd season in the NFL. This will be his 14th consecutive trip to the playoffs and none knows how many more opportunities he might have. However, the news of the legendary coach Sean Payton and Brady teaming up in future has stirred up rumors in the NFL world.

Sean Payton on Tom Brady team-up rumors

Super Bowl-winning head coach and offensive mastermind, Sean Payton recently shed some light on the ever-swirling rumors of a team-up with Brady. “Over the years, we always stayed in touch but never worked together, but there are probably too many variables in that equation,” Payton added. “There is a good chance that if we work together, it will be with Fox.” 

Both the men have deals in place with FOX. So if an association on the field is off the table, there is always a chance the duo comes together to present a game.

The duo nearly came together this year for another Florida team, the Miami Dolphins. However, after the dazzling exit of ex-HC, Brian Flores put a dent in the plans of the organization with his allegations about the management.

Although their dream pairing did not end up coming together this year. The speculations over a possible package deal between the duo have been gaining more and more attention. Currently, Sean Payton is in talks with multiple NFL franchises over a possible return to the league. The former New Orleans Saints HC might head to the Denver Broncos or return to Jazz city.

Tom Brady’s free agency

The 45-year-old quarterback will enter the market as an unrestricted free agent in 2023. There is no guarantee that he will return for another season. People have still been wondering where the 7 time Super Bowl champ goes next. Again, if at all.

According to former Bucs HC Bruce Arians, TB12 is likely to stay at the organization. Furthermore, former teammate, and friend Rob Gronkowski also thinks likewise. But there have been a number of teams, which are suggested to bring the veteran in.

The list includes names like the Las Vegas Raiders who will be looking to replace Derek Carr. After passing on him in 2020, the San Francisco 49ers were also said to be monitoring their QB situation, still, it is more likely for the team to start Trey Lance next season than to make a move like this.
