There has been much speculation on where Tom Brady might end up after the 2019 season, that’s if the franchise chooses not to bring him back in free agency this offseason.
Colin Cowherd believes one organization would be a perfect fit for the 42-year-old: the Indianapolis Colts.
“Well, if we’re going to play quarterback musical chairs and we think maybe Philip Rivers is going to go to the Colts, I think the perfect destination for Tom Brady would be the Chargers,. You talk about their skill set. He’d be going home. They’re going to their new stadium this year. They need to fill that stadium. They’re not filling a soccer stadium. So when they move there, you talk about creating some sizzle. There’s a lot of Patriots fans that are out on the West Coast, he’s a West Coast guy. I think he still has something to prove because we’ve had this argument for years, whether it’s Bill (Belichick) or if it’s Brady. I think Brady wants to prove he can win without him. Going out there with Anthony Lynn, with a team with a tremendous tight end in (Hunter) Henry. You think about Keenan Allen, maybe one of the best receivers he’d ever play with and the (Mike) Williams kid is a splash. Even if they don’t bring back (Melvin) Gordon, they still have (Austin) Ekeler. I think he’d have some of the best weapons he’s had in years.”
Jacoby Brissett, a former Patriots backup to Brady, looked good early in the season, but things fell apart down the stretch and the Colts finished in 3rd place in the AFC South.
Brissett is likely to return as the starter, but there have been rumors that the Colts might look into bringing Chargers quarterback Philip Rivers as a potential option.
