Tom Brady is going to be the talk of the NFL world on a much larger scale than usual in the upcoming weeks. The QB, who is set to hit free agency after the season, has not dropped any hints about a potential retirement.
The possibility of Brady staying in the league for another year is quite likely. At 45 years old, Brady doesn’t seem to be showing any signs of old age catching up to him- with the exception of a performance slump. But in bigger news, rumors of his next move are getting louder. So, where is TB12 reportedly heading?

Pat McAfee’s most recent statements about the situation may send fans into a frenzy. While speaking about Tom Brady’s potential move he said, “We talked to the point where Tom Brady is going to Vegas. They’ve got weapons. Obviously, Davante is there, Darren Waller is there, Hunter Renfro is there..they seemingly have all the pieces that Tom Brady would want to have in a personnel department and then you add Josh McDaniels- was the guy in his ear for literally the best moments in his life. And he’s tried to run that offense with Derek Carr and obviously it’s not taking place.” The analyst is rock-solid in his stance, adding, “So Tom Brady is going to the Raiders, that just makes too much sense” And McAfee wasn’t alone in his prediction.
Fellow analyst on ‘The Pat McAfee Show’ Connor Campbell seconded McAfee’s words. Campbell believes the choice is too obvious because the Las Vegas Raiders have all the offensive weapons that Brady needs. But what do the fans think about this potential move?
Tampa Bay fans are not keen on seeing Brady leave
While some fans would certainly like to see TB12 call it day and playoff while enjoying a quiet retired life, it’s highly probable that QB is not on the same page. Although Brady has mentioned a future in broadcasting, that may not happen right now.
This user is not happy with McAfee’s take.
No we need him on the Bucs! He can’t leave Tampa. #PMSLive Tampa just needs a new coach like Arians back and get rid of Bowles. @TomBrady

Another user has different reasons for not seeing the move as a possibility for Brady.
Makes sense football wise. He said when choosing Bucs wanted to be east coast as his son lives in New York. That is why I don’t see Raiders happening.

Tampa Bay fans may not want to see the QB leave, especially after the team’s success (winning the Super Bowl in his first season with them). Brady has not hinted at his potential choice of team. Right now, the QB has bigger things to worry about, one being, focusing on the Bucs’ postseason. The chances of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers going all the way to the end are low. But, with Brady, one can never be too sure. Regardless of whether this is his last season with the Bucs or not, TB12 will give it his best shot.
