Odds released on Tom Brady’s chances of returning to Patriots
Tom Brady hasn’t confirmed if he’s returning to football or riding off into the sunset and calling it a career. But if he does return, there’s a possibility of him leaving the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and playing for another team in 2023.
Could it be with New England Patriots?
Let’s be honest, the Mac Jones era had more than a few bumps in the road this season. There was even a bombshell report from NFL insider Chris Simms regarding Jones going behind coach Bill Belichick’s back to seek outside help with the offense.
Belichick and Brady were not without their problems, but Jones’ rumored rematch with Jones outweighs them all, especially since they have only had a few seasons together.
The oddsmakers have the Patriots among the group of the Buccaneers and San Francisco 49ers, Miami Dolphins, Las Vegas Raiders, and Miami Dolphins. DraftKings Sportsbook shows that the Patriots currently have +750 odds of beating the Dolphins.
It would be a great moment to see Brady back and finish his career where it began, but Belichick would need to take a lot pride in bringing him back.
The going narrative following the Patriots missing the playoffs for the second time in three seasons is that Belichick can’t win without Brady. So he wouldn’t be doing himself any favors with that assumption if he re-signed the same quarterback that helped him win six Super Bowls.
There’s also the fact that the Patriots would forfeit their future by giving up on Jones for one last run with Brady. This storybook ending might not end up being as good as it sounds.
