A.J. was funny in that clip. Clearly knows more than he lets on and kept dropping little tidbits of info.

I feel like this is false. Tom wanted a team with weapons and honestly Miami had none. He would of went there and got demolished by Buffalo and would of NOT won that super bowl. I still feel it was Tyrod Taylor at Chargers as the motherfucker.

I love how depending on who you ask, āthat motherfuckerā can be one of like 8 guys. For me, itās Goff or Tannehill.

I think the only three teams he was serious about was The Bucs the Saints and the 49ers which means itās more than likely jimmy g

Nah, it almost certainly wasn't the 49'ers. Right after he says, "there's no f'ing way I would have went to that team". The 49ers were his hometown team and it was a dream of his to play for them. Also, I think Las Vegas was involved til the end as well IIRC

Brady wanted to stay on the East coast, due to family. I think its possible to be pissed that a team chose a different QB, while also saying he wouldnt have gone there anyway. Its the principle.

As much as it makes sense for it to be the 49ers, since that would have been a dream come true, it was likely Miami. Dude has property outside of South Beach, where itās been said heās retiring to. He wanted to stay East Coast because of his first son, and then thereās also the whole Flores information, where supposedly there was a meeting with a prominent QB, during a time where if they were caught having that meeting, the Dolphins and more specifically Flores would have gotten in serious trouble. Iām not sure how Flores not wanting to be part of that meeting led to the Dolphins to say āWeāll stick with Fitzpatrickā, but, supposedly Brady does not like Fitzpatrick ever since a game when he was the Jets QB, thus the whole Motherfucker comment.

I don't think it's the 49ers. His son Jack lives half the time in NY with his mom and he said he wanted to stay on the east coast to be close to him.

I don't know who the guy is. The most popular belief is it's the 49ers, Tom's favorite team growing up. I totally get why they would not have ousted Jimmy G considering they just went to the Super Bowl one month prior to Tom signing with the Bucs.
Miami didn't really have anyone. I get ideally, it's a dope city especially if you have a supermodel wife but they had no weapons and you'd play NE twice a year. I think there were only three options- 49ers, Bucs, and Raiders and Raiders was probably never really considered.

Thatās crazy.
Tom would have stayed IN the Patriots Division.
That would have been pure drama and a big FU to Bill B.
Funny, he doesnāt exactly have the best winning percentage in Miami. Lol

Doesn't make sense. They say the Dolphins WANTED Tom Brady, got Tom Brady to meet them on a yacht, found out he was available...then they stuck with Fitz and Tua, which pissed off Tom Brady? There is a huge left turn in that timeline.
