NFL insider believes one key factor might stop Tom Brady from potential Patriots reunion

Tom Brady has already announced his retirement from the National Football League once this year. He is in the final season of his current contract with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers but is yet to say whether he will return next season.

If Brady does decide to return to the NFL next season, where will he play? That was the topic of conversation on ESPN's Get Up on Tuesday morning. Mike Greenberg stated that he doesn't believe a reunion with the New England Patriots is in the works.

He believes that the 45-year-old would want to stay in the warmer climate and that returning to a cold-weather city is not in the cards.

Greenberg also added that Miami is no longer an option because of Tua Tagovailoa's success.

"I don't see Brady at this point going to a cold-weather city. That's kind of tough to picture. It feels to me like he really likes being down there, in Florida. We know that there was an interest in Miami but that seems to have gone the other way."

Greenberg, Mike Tannenbaum, Dan Graziano, and Domonique Foxworth all said that Las Vegas Raiders and San Francisco 49ers, which were initially on the radar in 2020, are no longer options.

Stating that they all believe that if he decides to return and not with the Buccaneers, it would need to be with a contender who is close to winning.

Sources believe that QB Tom Brady will play in 2023

Quarterback Tom Brady decided that 40 days of retirement was enough and that he still had the desire to play football. Still, under contract with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, he returned to the team for his third season.

Although October was a rough month for Brady and the Bucs, they had a two-game winning streak before last week's bye.

Will the 45-year-old quarterback decide to play again next season? According to JoeBucsFan.com, an unnamed source stated that the quarterback loves playing in Tampa. This source added that they don't feel that he could find a better situation if he did want to return.

“This is his team, and the team loves him. He’s heavily invested in many ways. It’s hard to imagine he’d find a better situation with another franchise. And he’s been playing great for three years.”

The seven-time Super Bowl-winning quarterback's career was said to be the deciding factor in his divorce from now ex-wife Gisele Bundchen.

When he decided to return to the game this past spring, Bundchen apparently wasn't happy and wanted him to spend more time with their family. Now that he is divorced, many believe that he can continue playing since that decision is no longer on the table.
