There has been plenty of speculation regarding the uncertain future of New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady. It appears his departure this offseason may very well be inevitable.

Brady is set to test the market as a free agent for the first time in his career. And there has been little indication of any headway being made. Matt Lombardi of The Athletic says the odds of his return to New England continue to diminish drastically:

“We have to qualify what were the odds going back,” he said. “I would say in October I thought he would stay with the Patriots, 95/5 — favoring the Patriots. I think by December I was at 75/25. I think January after that loss I went to 60/40, now I am 30/70 that he’s gone. Maybe even 20/80. I don’t get the vibe that it is going to happen.

The prospect of Brady parting ways with the Patriots always seemed rather far-fetched. After all, he had served as the focal point of a dynasty that resulted in six Super Bowl wins. It is safe to say he provided the team with plenty of bang for their buck after giving them multiple hometown discounts over the years. He is now hoping to be rewarded for his efforts.

Meanwhile, Brady has already garnered plenty of interest from bonafide playoff competitors. Those contenders include the likes of the San Francisco 49ers and Tennessee Titans. Although there will continue to be speculation regarding potential landing spots, all signs seem to indicate that his time in a Patriots uniform has come to an end.
