The Tom Brady to the 49ers rumors aren’t going away.
While the seven-time Super Bowl champion is “retired” and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers say they won’t facilitate a trade elsewhere, not everyone is buying it.
“As a practical matter, [Brady’s] commitment to the Buccaneers has ended,” Mike Florio wrote. “Any clumsy effort to huff and puff about Brady being the exclusive property of the Buccaneers and that the team wouldn’t allow him to pick his next destination will serve only to blow down the house of whoever tries to do it.”
Florio believes Brady has only “retired” from the Buccaneers, not football.
“I’ve come to the conclusion that Tom Brady has retired from the Buccaneers, not from football. He’s trying to gracefully exit from Tampa Bay even though he’s under contract for one more year,” Florio said on 95.7 The Game on Friday. “People say, ‘What else does Brady have to accomplish?’ Well, he’s never played for the team he grew up rooting for. That’s got a strong psychological and emotional hold on anyone.”
The 49ers rumors were flamed earlier this weekend, when Brady’s former teammate landed a San Francisco coaching job.
Former Monday Night Football analyst Brian Griese is leaving ESPN to become the Quarterbacks Coach for the 49ers, sources tell @SethWickersham and me. Griese and Kyle Shanahan have known each other for years; Griese played QB in Tampa when Shanahan was on the Bucs coaching staff.
