It may be a time for quiet among the eliminated teams in the NFL, but that doesn't mean that they're not going to make any moves in the offseason. One of the biggest stories developing so far for the eliminated teams involves a certain quarterback named Tom Brady.
After an embarrassing exit for the New England Patriots in the Wild Card against the Tennessee Titans, the future of one of the greatest quarterbacks to ever play the game was put in doubt. There are now serious doubts about Brady returning to the Patriots in such a state. The murmurs of Brady leaving for the West are turning into shouts as the days go by.
NFL Insider Jay Glazer gave fans plenty of reasons to talk about in the coming days. In his latest piece for The Athletic, Glazer believes that the Los Angeles Chargers and the Las Vegas Raiders will be doing everything they can to get Tom Brady to sign with them in the offseason.
