Where will Brady end up next year?

[BuccaneerBrad]

He's a free agent.  Will he want to hang on with Belichick for another year, maybe two (because that's about all he's got left) or will he try to prove that he can win without him?

Can the mods add a poll?

I included four possibilities and an "other"

[EDGECRUSHER]

If he left, it would only be for a team that is already very good but needs a QB. Is there such a team in the NFL like that?

I see Dallas in his future.

In Tampa he'd have the best two WRs in the league to throw to.  They really turned it on at the end of the season.

He'll take a big hometown discount to stay with the Patsies.

A few maybes....

Brees is a free agent....so maybe Saints.
Denver is close and needs a QB.  
Colts aren't sold on their QB and are decent.
Steelers have a pretty decent team.  If Ben can't return, I could see that.  
Tannehill is a free agent.  If Tenn doesn't extend him, I can see BB swooping in and signing him.  (BB has a history of signing players that have given him trouble e.g. Welker) Then Tenn turning around and signing Brady.  
But if NE can add a couple of FA WR there is a very decent chance they will present him with the best opportunity for a 7th ring.  

I think Dallas is more than a QB away.

I don't think dollars matter at all.  I think the beginning and ending of the analysis for him will be "what team gives me the best chance at a 7th and 8th ring?"  Patriots have a decent shot at winning that contest.

Dallas IS more than a QB away....they already have a QB capable of winning a Superbowl. They need to put together a defense that can help him do that.

Until they pulled both hammies.   And if you think he'd last long behind that O-Line, I've got some mountainside property here in Florida to sell you.

someone added more options which erased all the prior votes.

TB is a bad run blocking team but has is okay pass blocking.

I'm under the assumption that guys like Brees and Brady return to their teams, I don't think for one second Brady is going to be a Buccaneer or Bear.

I would be shocked if either retired.   But Brady wearing different laundry wouldn’t surprise me.  Disappoint me, yes.  Surprise me, no.

 Maybe BB thinks he already has his next franchise QB.  He certainly has been acting like he doesn't really need Brady.  Not unlike how he was towards Bledsoe at the start of 2001. 
    

Conspiracy Theory Alert: BB purposefully lost to the Dolphins and the Titans to try and get Brady to retire so that he could chase Shula's all-time wins record with a QB not named Brady.

You lost me at “purposefully lost.” But I don’t think it is too far fetched to think BB would have preferred to have Stidham play this year, but couldn’t bench Brady much like how he wanted to start Brady week 1 of 2001 but he couldn’t bench Bledsoe.  And BB is going to make minimal effort towards retaining Brady because he wants to move on and even if the Patriots had won the SB BB had no interest in having TB on the roster in 2020.
