Tom Brady Says Reports Of Him Wanting To Play Elsewhere Are Nonsense

August 27th, 2022

No media types asked Tom Brady tonight about potentially playing for the Raiders and Dolphins after so many recent reports of him yearning to go to those teams.

Joe hit Brady with multiple questions during his short postgame news conference, and that line of questioning wasn’t on Joe’s list. But Brady went there himself, all but denying he ever wanted to play anywhere but in Tampa after he left the Patriots.

Brady shared his love for the Bucs franchise and then went there.

“I read all these different stories about all these different places I was supposed to go or could have gone. I was only going to go to one place, which was here. I think this whole organization knows that,” Brady said.

“All the conversations that we’ve had over a period of time, I chose the right place for me. And I’m very proud of the effort everyone’s put in to make the relationship work. Joel [Glazer] has been amazing. Jason [Licht] is a great friend of mine. Bruce [Arians], Todd [Bowles].”

Brady added that his career would be “incomplete” without his Tampa Bay experience.

It doesn’t matter to Joe if Brady is being sincere or not. He’s here and he’s not there — wherever there may be.

    I believe him.

    He’s a Buc now….for as long as he wants to be….

    No matter what fans like OneilBuc want…

    You’re dayum right LFG!

    I think the fact that he said it without being prompted says a lot. I think he was being sincere. He could’ve easily been evasive if he were to get a question about the Phins and Raiders. He didn’t run from it. TB has given him everything and more!! No other team would’ve done the same, especially the Raiders. I

    He didn’t mention BL?

  5. Red-sparrow Says:

    I fully believe Tom. He was trying to set up an ownership gig for his post playing days that’s it. But being Tom Brady, everything he does will be over scrutinized and unfairly questioned. Lebron goes through the same BS in the NBA. Those 2 can never win with the general public/media. It’s unfortunate but it is what it is.

  6. Buccsfanchad Says:

    With all of these rumors, I really wonder who “that f’n guy” really was, now that he has been linked to multiple teams…..

  7. Maniac Buc Says:

    Who cares? Of course he had and has options. Regardless, he’s a Buc, and has been nothing but great since arriving. People put to much thought into things…Life isn’t that complicated…

  8. Joe Says:

    Who cares?

    You do. You took the time to comment.

  9. Oneilbuc Says:

    It already been proven that the Las Vegas Raiders, SF , and the Chargers said no to him after the 2019 season. Brady would have been retired if it wasn’t for the bucs. I have no problem with Brady he’s said it a lot of times it’s all about the team. My beef was with all of yall that made him bigger than the team the only time when yall talk team is when we lose. But when we win it’s because of Brady only with the fans on this site. Even with Joe himself especially Ira Kaufman.

    You know, based on how Tommy Boy looks now. Literally HOW HE LOOKS.

    Reminds me of Kobe. Once the contract ends, so do you.

    2 weeks is about right to get him right.

    Adrenochrome is a REAL THING.

    HONESTLY, I’m just jealous, I wish I could be superman.

    Wish his wife didnt say she was a witch and preformed rituals for him. Otherwise I would consider his MAGA material.

    OK, GN, The Captain is telling me in night night time

    He cares about us enough to lie to us! Awwwww

  13. '79 Defense Says:

    Good to hear.

  14. tampabayallday Says:

    Lebron isn’t on TB12’s level. Larry Bird was better than Lebron.

  15. Defense Rules Says:

    Joe … ‘It doesn’t matter to Joe if Brady is being sincere or not. He’s here and he’s not there — wherever there may be.’

    The perfect bottom line Joe. Now can we move on from this ‘story that never ends’?

  16. Billyboy2211 Says:

    But jeff and yucbuc boi said there sources said otherwise……2 of the biggest clowns on here

  17. Bucs Win Says:

    Dana White sounded like he was drunk to me when he made his revelation on the Gronk show. I always thought it was nonsense, Brady makes his own decisions. DW is not a NFL player agent or the GM of the Raiders so how the hell is he supposedly brokering deals for Brady? DW is just another blow hard after 3 or 4 cocktails running his mouth.

  18. Maniac Buc Says:

    @Admin, The “Who cares” was directed as who cares that he has option, not at your article. The article was fine. It’s Tom Brady, probably the greatest football player ever. It’s like having one night with the sexiest woman on earth. Who cares that she could have chosen any of the other 4 billion men on earth, right here, right now, in this night, in this moment, she’s with me…

  19. Bucs&Bolts Says:

    That was very telling to me I’m glad he chose us and I believe him f the haters

  20. Jerry Says:

    Well what was he supposed to say? “Yeah, I wanted to go to Miami with Sean Payton and be a part owner. But I got caught. So I’m here now!”

    I mean the NFL literally came out and specifically said tampering was occurring. Goodell came out and said it. The Dolphins lost draft picks because of it. Stephen Ross is suspended.

    Brady can sit there and lie all he wants. But he was definitely flirting behind the Bucs’ backs.

    ATTN: GLAZER FAMILY – Why this did not happen for sure after the Super Bowl season, if not before TB12, The GOAT even came to Tampa, I do not know.

    We all know now that TB12 wanted to have minority ownership in the Dolphins, heck maybe even play there who knows. Well, the NFL must have thought so with the Dolphin’s penalties for tampering.

    So, Attention Glazer family! , or someone who knows how to get them this info now! – Knowing all this, why haven’t you, or don’t you immediately offer TB12, the GOAT, a minority piece of ownership and KEEP HIM IN TAMPA BAY with the Bucs when he is done playing by working this minority ownership deal and by giving him a power position with say so within the organization. This would seem like a no-brainer. Tom, and Gisele, are NOT going to like the even more travel time and being away from the family trying to do a broadcasting gig. That gig is not going to go well. Hell, TB12 might even play another year or two on this ownership-operations deal. By bringing in TB12 as part of the organization, it will only drive up the total value$$ of the Bucs franchise big time to cover his percent of ownership and his Fox contract over time. It will only help the Bucs continue to be a success with his talent, his eye for talent, game knowledge, all the nuances, and all the FREE National exposure this franchise & Area will only continue to receive like it has for 3 years! Offer this deal right now to Tom and Gisele. Tampa Bay is the best place for him to continue raising his family, not the celeb-saturated, overpopulated loser-owner & Miami area.
    Tom and Gisele can have the entire Brady and Bundchen families move to Tampa Bay. Sell your Miami home/plot, and buy a nice Beachfront mansion and also another permanent home on Davis Island or the Bay with a helipad. What a great thing it would be for our Local Community to have them here for not just their business ventures but for their involvement in Area local Charities and again, FREE National publicity. Tampa is a smaller Big City market that Tom & Gisele and the kids could thrive in. We have the beaches, boating, schools, TB12 facility, and Tampa International for their travels. COME ON GLAZERS – LFG AND DO IT NOW and FOR THE NEXT 20 YEARS!

    Bucbolt. Lol 🤣🤣 keep telling yourself that lie lol 🤣🤣 it’s been confirmed that all of those teams said no and Brady didn’t have a choice but to play for us because no else wanted him . The Bucs chose Brady he would have been retired after the 2019 season even Gronk confirm it so keep believing a guy who told you 90 percent of the stuff he tells the media is not the truth. Lol 🤣🤣🤣 suckas or born every day lol 🤣🤣🤣!!

    At the end of the day, do you really care why a gorgeous woman decides to sleep with you?!? Hell no!
