Tom Brady will not be returning to the New England Patriots in 2020, which means that we will now experience quite a frenzy of teams battling for the quarterback's services. Right now, however, it appears that the Los Angeles Chargers are at the front of the line.
Via Arash Markazi of The Los Angeles Times, Sports Betting AG has Brady listed as the betting favorite to be the Chargers' starting quarterback in Week 1 of next season, followed by Tyrod Taylor and incoming rookie Justin Herbert.
Los Angeles parted ways with Philip Rivers earlier this offseason, marking the end of a 16-year run in which Rivers was the starter for 14 of them.
The Chargers have long been speculated as a potential landing spot for Brady, as they not only offer the LA sunshine and business opportunities, but have a star-studded receiving corps that includes Keenan Allen and Mike Williams as well as tight end Hunter Henry.
Plus, running back Austin Ekeler, whom the club just signed to a contract extension, is a terrific pass-catcher out of the backfield.
Brady spent the first 20 years of his career with the Patriots, winning six Super Bowl championships and establishing himself as the greatest quarterback of all-time.
However, in 2019, the 42-year-old truly began to show his age, throwing for 4,057 yards, 24 touchdowns and eight interceptions while completing just 60.8 percent of his passes and posting a passer rating of 88. It marked the first time that Brady did not make the Pro Bowl since 2008 when he was knocked out for the season in Week 1 due to a torn ACL.
