While everyone was waking up from an eventful first day of free agency, Tom Brady broke social media by announcing he won't be returning to the New England Patriots. Despite making himself available to other teams, the Indianapolis Colts have no interest in Brady, per ESPN's Ed Werder.
Despite appearing to be an ideal fit, I’m told the #Colts are not in the market for Tom Brady. It appears Philip Rivers a better possibility.

Rather than make an attempt at signing Brady, the Colts seem focused on possibly adding Philip Rivers. Similar to Brady, Rivers won't be returning to the team that he spent countless years with.
However, Rivers has previous experience with head coach Frank Reich and offensive coordinator Nick Sirianni. Given that, the Colts appear to be a team that won't be entering their name into the ring for Brady's services.
Of course, when looking at their current roster, Brady could be a perfect fit for the Colts at quarterback. Besides T.Y. Hilton, Indianapolis has a strong offensive line and other weapons at his disposal.
Also, getting to play under Reich could prolong Brady's career even longer. Not to mention, the Colts have an ample amount of cap space to pay Brady what he wants at 42 years old.
With the Colts eliminating themselves from contention, Brady's options will be somewhat limited. Currently, it appears it could be a two-team race between the Los Angeles Chargers and Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
Even though the Colts could be an ideal landing spot for Brady, they have their sights set on other options in free agency. For the time being, Jacoby Brissett can forget the idea of being Brady's backup for the second time in his career.
