Tom Brady 2023 NFL Team Odds: Will Brady Leave Buccaneers?

Tom Brady Down But Not Out

NFL betting fans know that quarterbacks aren’t supposed to be still playing at age 45, much less at an elite level. During the 2022 regular season, 45-year-old Tom Brady of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers finished third in the league with 4,694 yards and led with 490 completions, breaking his own single-season record.

TB12 is still one of the better quarterbacks in the NFL, but he somewhat looked his age in a 31-14 Wild Card Round loss at home to the Dallas Cowboys on Monday night. Yes, Brady threw for 351 yards and two scores but much of that in garbage time. He also had a crushing interception in the Dallas end zone at the start of the second quarter with the Bucs only down 6-0. The Cowboys would quickly take a 12-0 lead and never looked back.

Brady’s pick was his first red zone interception as a Buccaneer and his first red zone at home since 2016. He had thrown 409 red zone passes and 358 red zone passes at home without an INT, both the longest such streaks since 1991 (including playoffs).

After the loss, Brady’s first in eight career games vs. the Cowboys, the seven-time Super Bowl champion had no definitive answers for his playing future as he enters unrestricted free agency. The Bucs can’t slap the franchise tag on Brady, so he can literally sign anywhere – although the way he said thank you to the Tampa Bay organization, it seemed like his days there were finished.

Will Tom Brady Retire?

To be clear: Tom Brady has not made a definitive decision regarding his future yet. While he may sign with another team, he might also opt to retire (again). The sports betting odds currently favor Brady returning to the field as he is -150 not to retire. The bookies do clearly believe that Brady may decide to hang it up as he is +110 to retire after this season.

If Brady does decide to continue for an unprecedented 24th season, there are plenty of teams who would be interested. The best online sports betting sites are already offering odds on where Brady may play come the 2023 regular season if he decides to leave Tampa Bay.

Which NFL Team Will Tom Brady Join in 2023?

Despite his advanced age, make no doubt: teams are lining up to court the five-time Super Bowl MVP. Although Super Bowl betting season is in full swing, teams will be looking ahead to the 2024 Super Bowl and the potential role Brady could play.

The Las Vegas Raiders were linked to Brady when he first left New England back in 2020. The Raiders might have signed Brady back then had then-coach Jon Gruden not put a stop to things. Gruden is long gone and the current head coach is Josh McDaniels, who was Brady’s long-time offensive coordinator with the Patriots.

The Raiders are currently  +300 favorites to be Brady’s next club and reportedly are going to aggressively pursue Brady and pair with All-Pro receiver Davante Adams.

Like the Raiders, the New York Jets (+350) missed the playoffs this season, but they have a spectacular overall roster and a Super Bowl-caliber defense in place. Brady’s legacy is secure but would still get a mega-boost by leading the Jets to their first Super Bowl title since Joe Namath was the quarterback. Real money sports betting fans could even see Brady play (and potentially beat) his former Patriots team twice in the 2023 regular season.

Could Brady actually return to New England (+500)? Stranger things have happened, and there’s no universe where Brady isn’t an upgrade on the inconsistent youngster, Mac Jones.

The Miami Dolphins (+600), San Francisco 49ers (+700), Indianapolis Colts (+750) and Baltimore Ravens (+900) round out the favorites. The Dolphins pursued Brady last offseason and were subsequently punished for tampering. Baltimore would only be in the market if forced to trade Lamar Jackson for contract reasons. Brady is from the San Francisco area, but the Niners might have found their long-term future in rookie Brock Purdy.
