Tom Brady‘s departure from the New England Patriots marked the end of a historic era for the franchise led by Robert Kraft. Before joining the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, there were speculations about a potential move to the San Francisco 49ers. However, Brady himself revealed what his ideal destination was prior to arriving in Tampa.
The multiple Super Bowl champion with the Patriots is now working as an NFL analyst. Before the game that the Buccaneers played, he made it clear that his destination after finishing his contract with the Patriots was not in the Bay Area.
NFL journalist Jordan Schultz shared an excerpt from the broadcast on his X (formerly Twitter) account, where Brady stated that his ideal team to sign with belonged to the NFC North. That team was none other than the Chicago Bears.
