After ending his brief retirement at 40 days and coming back for his 23rd NFL season, Tom Brady is gearing up for yet another possible playoff run.
Once his season comes to an end, he will ramp up what he plans to do for next year, whether it’s heading into retirement or playing for another season. If he does come back, where does Brady land?
Rob Maaddi of the Associated Press said Brady is “most likely” to return to Tampa Bay if he keeps playing.
There are reportedly several teams interested in Brady’s services for the 2023 season despite him turning 46 years old. NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport had this to sya:
“Tom Brady is a free agent after this season. He will be 46 years old and I would say there’s a chance he does not return to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers despite the fact that they very much want him back and plant to make efforts toward that,” Rapoport explained.
The NFL insider added that Brady could very well find a new landing spot if Tampa Bay isn’t in his future.

“Among the teams that would consider Brady, a couple of them who considered Brady the last time,” he said. “The Tennessee Titans still have some quarterback questions there. The 49ers if they do not decide to rock with Brock Purdy – he’s certainly stating his case. And the Las Vegas Raiders, who have several of his old friends, including Josh McDaniels.”
Brady hasn’t specified one way or the other if he’s leaning toward playing again or retiring and likely won’t address it until weeks after the postseason.
The soon-to-be hall of fame QB who had a rocky season in 2022 finished with 4,594 passing yards, 25 touchdown passes, and only nine interceptions. The Buccaneers finished 8-9.
Despite the bad record, the team has a home playoff game against the Dallas Cowboys.
