Report: Tom Brady considering 'all options' for 2023

"All options are on the table" for Tom Brady in 2023, NFL Network reported Sunday. The report cited multiple sources close to the 45-year-old Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback. One of the options presumably includes joining his favorite team growing up -- the same team Brady faces Sunday as the Bucs (6-6) visit the San Francisco 49ers (8-4) in a battle of division leaders. According to the report, Brady was likely leaning toward (another) retirement earlier this season when Tampa Bay dropped five of six games. But with the team winning three of its past four and in position for the seven-time Super Bowl champion to perhaps add to his unparalleled jewelry collection, Brady's passion is said to have been reignited. Brady leads the NFL in pass completions (347) and attempts (524), throwing for 3,332 yards with 16 touchdowns and just three interceptions in 12 starts in his 23rd NFL season. The San Mateo, Calif., native has a nine-figure broadcasting deal with Fox Sports awaiting him whenever he elects to hang up his helmet. Brady has until the start of free agency in mid-March to decide whether to re-sign with Tampa Bay or explore other options such as San Francisco. The longtime New England Patriots star's legacy as the greatest quarterback of all time is already secure with NFL career records for wins (249), passing yards (87,852) and touchdowns (640). --Field Level Media
