New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady has free agency rumors flying around him, but the future Hall of Famer says nobody knows anything.

Tom Brady is going to play somewhere in the NFL next season. That’s what we know.

Brady, 42, is hitting unrestricted free agency for the first time in his career, and rumors are everywhere. The New York Giants, Tennessee Titans, Dallas Cowboys, Indianapolis Colts, Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Las Vegas Raiders, Miami Dolphins, Los Angeles Chargers and San Francisco 49ers are all rumored spots for Brady to land.

Essentially, anywhere where the quarterback situation is unsettled.

However, Brady reportedly told former Patriots offensive coordinator Charlie Weis not to believe the stories, saying nobody actually knows what is going to happen.

Hell, a good argument can be made Brady himself doesn’t yet know.

NFL free agency doesn’t begin until March 18, while the tamper period starts 48 hours prior on the 16th. Only a fool would believe conversations — with the Patriots and otherwise — haven’t long been in the works, but the looming Collective Bargaining Agreement vote combined with an unprecedented quarterback carousel has ample teams in limbo.

In Indianapolis for the NFL Scouting Combine last week, only two things were clear on Brady; he’s going to be the first domino to fall, and nobody knows where he’s going to land.

With only a few years remaining before he finally retires, Brady could be looking for a massive payday. He could also be looking for the best situation for a seventh ring, a place which may well end up being in Foxborough.

Nobody truly knows with Brady’s camp keeping quiet.
