Where do the odds put Tom Brady heading after Pats departure?

After two decades with the New England Patriots, quarterback Tom Brady is ready for a new challenge. As an NFL free agent, the six-time Super Bowl champ, and one of the oldest players in the league, wants to expand his horizons and see what other opportunities might exist. He announced at the start of the week that he wouldn’t be returning with the Pats for another season, and oddsmakers didn’t waste any time setting the lines on where he might be headed next.

The thought of Brady leaving the Pats was upsetting to fans, and rumors had persisted for weeks that his time with the team had come to an end. When he finally made his decision clear, he posted on Twitter, “I don’t know what the future holds but it is time for me to open a new stage for my life and career.” He then provided a separate note of thanks to his teammates and coaches, stating, “Our team set a great standard in pro sports and I know it will continue to do just that. Although my football journey will take place elsewhere, I appreciate everything that we have achieved and am grateful for our incredible TEAM accomplishments.”

At 42 years old, Brady isn’t exactly a young player anymore. However, he’s convinced there is still a lot of football left in him and he’s ready to prove it with another team. Several destinations seem more likely than others, with the LA Chargers and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers being the most likely contenders.
