Tom Brady rumors: 5 best fits in NFL free agency
3. Tennessee Titans
If there is one thing that Brady is known for, its his ability to win. The Tennessee Titans were a game shy of the Super Bowl this season, and adding TB12 to their roster could help push them over the top in the AFC.
There is no question that the Titans got a tremendous season out of Ryan Tannehill, who they currently plan to have back, but is he a long-term answer in Tennessee? Tannehill’s limitations were exposed in the AFC Championship Game, when he couldn’t move the offense quick enough to keep up with Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs.
Adding Brady could provide a serious jolt to the Titans’ offense, which already has a strong running back in Derrick Henry and talented young receivers like A.J. Brown and Corey Davis. Tennessee also has an ace recruiter in head coach Mike Vrabel, who grew close with Brady during their years as teammates in New England.
Another thing working in Tennessee’s favor is the fact that their division is wide open. The Houston Texans won it a year ago, but they are far from unbeatable, while the Indianapolis Colts and Jacksonville Jaguars each have their own quarterback problems to sort through.
Brady would instantly make the Titans favorites in the division, and they could well make a Super Bowl run for the first time since 1999. The move would also buy Tennessee time to figure out its long-term answer at quarterback since Brady would likely stick around another few years.
