Brady is for sure a lock on GOAT.
But in football years he is a Boomer. And Boomers are known for not retiring. They love to go out still guns blazing and won't retire.
Why did he go to Tampa? Because he can and wants to. If it was about showing that it was his talent and not all "muh coaching" then he would have left after his 3rd Superbowl win when that kind of talk was all the buzz. This echoes the same logic of Obama's "you didn't build that" speech, ironically.
Never forget this guy was literally 6th from the last QB out of a total 254 players drafted in the 2000 Draft. This resulted in him having a major chip on his shoulder to prove his worth and talent. That chip endures to this day and will continue with him to Tampa. May he fare well in Tampa.
He chose Tampa partly because it's a shorter flight to his son (lives with ex-wife Bridget Moynahan) in NYC compared to say Los Angeles if he signed with the Chargers.
Low taxes
Good cosch
decent weapons on roster
Weak division
NFC away from AFC teams that know him well
Warm
Easy to move family there
Big pay day $$
Probably the above other reasons as well for the move to Tampa. Any team Brady would sign with would seem strange aside from the media hyped Chargers.
Philip Rivers goes to the Colts which is a good look.
Brisket should head back to NE if he knows what is good for him as he had success there.
Winston, if he's smart, should stay put and backup Brady and learn how to be a fine tuned QB.
