Tom Brady’s unrestricted free agency is an NFL rarity. An all-time great quarterback is set to hit the open market.
What makes his free agency especially interesting is the Pandora’s box its opened regarding possible destinations. Any team that needs a quarterback is a possibility. So are some teams that don’t need quarterbacks. Logic goes out the window when a six-time Super Bowl champion quarterback is available for hire.
Some teams simply don’t need quarterbacks. Others don’t have the cap space. Others aren’t ready to compete – which is surely going to be a criteria if Brady does take a free agency tour.
The other piece of the puzzle that exacerbated the Brady free agent craze is what the 42-year-old did prior to last season. He opted for a contract that made him a free agent in 2020. He also put his home up for sale in Boston.
We attempted to ground the Brady rumors a little bit by looking at all 32 teams and what their realistic chances are of signing the 20-year veteran.
