The Los Angeles Chargers might be in the market for a new quarterback given the fact that Philip Rivers is set to become an unrestricted free agent.
There are endless possibilities to fill the void that include re-signing Rivers, drafting one in the first-round, or trading for one. But there’s been one possibility that started as a fire but it continues to spread, and that’s signing Tom Brady.
Brady, 42, is also expected to become a free agent. Like Rivers, he has expressed that he doesn’t see himself retiring. The narrative started because Brady is a California native, he would be able to market his TB12 brand and also add some buzz to a belittled fan base.
It’s been a popular pairing for many as of late. Most recently, NBC’s Cris Collinsworth said that Los Angeles would be his wild guess for Brady after Sunday’s playoff game, saying they would be franchise that could use him the most.
Days before Collinsworth made his prediction, Skip Bayless of FS1’s Undisputed said that he believes Saturday’s loss to the Titans will be the last time Brady suits up in a Patriots uniform, and will be the starting quarterback of the Chargers in 2020.
Nick Wright of FS1’s First Things First concurs.
As does Bart Scott and Pat McAfee of ESPN’s Get Up.
Until we find out what the team actually does, don’t expect the chorus of Brady to the Chargers to stop anytime soon.
