NFL Rumors & News: Tom Brady Expected to Leave Tampa Bay

Tom Brady reportedly unlikely to return to Tampa Bay

Tom Brady is reportedly unlikely to return to the Buccaneers, per NFL insider Ian Rapoport.

Fantasy Impact

Brady is going to take some time and decide what is next for him at age 45. The future-hall-of-famer is unlikely to return to Tampa Bay after a disappointing 2022 season. As he weighs his options, the two most likely scenarios appear to be Brady retiring or testing out free agency and finding another team for the 2023 season. Brady will still have fantasy value in 2023 should he find a landing spot with a better offensive line and a solid stable of pass catchers.
