Brady and wifeGisele Bündchen— who told fans that even shedoesn’t “know where I’m going to be livingthis year” as her husband’s plans were still unclear —reportedly movedtheir family from Massachusetts to Greenwich, Connecticut, in January.
According toESPNlast month, Brady “is currently operating under the belief that he will enter free agency to play somewhere other than New England next season.”
The outlet reported that the longtime Patriots star “is evaluating the NFL landscape with the intention of departing,” according to sources.
However, in January, Bradyalluded that he’d be returningto the New England team when hewroteon Instagram: “In both life and football, failure is inevitable. You don’t always win. You can, however, learn from that failure, pick yourself up with great enthusiasm, and place yourself in the arena again. And that’s right where you will find me. Because I know I still have more to prove.”
