The saga of NFL legendary quarterback Tom Brady apparently won't be ending any time soon, as he's already lost his marriage over his decision to un-retire and return to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers earlier this year; he doubled down and said that retirement, even at the age of 45, isn't something he's considering right now.
But, for how much longer will he be playing for the Bucs? According to one unnamed NFL Insider, it will be the San Francisco Giants who will be making a serious push for not only Tom Brady, but at Aaron Rodgers.
"Two general managers said last week they expect the 49ers to seriously inquire about Brady and Green Bay’s Aaron Rodgers depending on whether either or both of those quarterbacks decide to move on," Jason Cole of Outkick reports.
"The Brady scenario is easy, he’s (a free agent after the season)," one general manager told Jason Cole of OutKick Sports. "Rodgers has more moving parts because you don’t know what kind of Zen thought he’s going to have. He might say he wants out. I could also see the Packers moving on to Jordan Love if they can figure out the cap situation. But everybody knows the 49ers need a quarterback to win now."
Of course, Rodgers is mired in the worst season of his career thus far with the Packers, and many are questioning how much longer the two sides will want to continue their relationship. And with Jimmy Garoppolo not guaranteed to return to the Bay Area next year, the 49ers would love to bring aboard another top talent.
"That roster has been really great for four years," the second general manager told Cole about the 49ers. "If it ends up that they only get to one Super Bowl with that group, it’s going to haunt (coach) Kyle (Shanahan) and (owner) Jed (York). They’re going to be desperate for a quarterback this offseason. That’s how I see it."
