Tom Brady – the six-time Super Bowl champ and greatest QB to ever play the game – is a soon-to-be NFL free agent, and nobody knows where he’s going to be playing football in 2020.
At least not yet, as free agency doesn’t start for two more weeks.
OK, you probably have heard about this, as Brady rumors are only picking up steam as we get closer to when decisions will have to be made.
Well, UFC president Dana White, who’s originally from Boston and loves the New England Patriots, made his pitch to Brady in an Instagram live Q&A and begged for the QB to come to Las Vegas and play for the Raiders.
White started by saying he would love to see Brady return to New England but if that can’t happen, Las Vegas would be a good spot for No. 12:

White: “Now listen, the question everybody wants to know. Now, first of all, I’m a Boston guy through and through. I want you to go with the Patriots, but let me make my last pitch: Las Vegas would love to have you here with the Raiders! The stadium, the facility is incredible. The training facility they have outside of Vegas is unbelievable. It’s a 45-minute flight from L.A. Your kids and your family could live there. You can fly back and forth. We want you to come to the Raiders! You know I’ve been pitching you now for a month or two. C’mon now, brother. Get to Vegas!”
Brady: “I know it’s been a lot of patience for me. Obviously being where I’ve been for 20 years, it’s been an amazing experience. I don’t know what the future holds right now. I’m just trying to be patient through this process, my first time going through it. In the meantime, I’m gonna spend a lot of time with my family over the next 10, 12 days. We’ve got a little vacation planned, and I’m looking forward to it.”
That was a good non-answer from Brady.
But an answer will likely be coming soon.
Hopefully.
