Tom Brady may have his own plans for the future, but Tampa Bay fans who want the QB to stay may potentially find themselves disappointed. TB12’s pursuit of an eighth Super Bowl title came to a halt in their face-off against the Cowboys.

Dak Prescott, whose success has been attributed to the brilliance of his defense, showed precisely what he is made of. If fans thought that Brady would have a trick up his sleeve they were mistaken. After the game, ever the sportsman, the QB spoke to the press.

His words seemed to adhere to the occasion, being his last postgame press conference of the season. But, the underlying tone alluded to the QB bidding members of the press farewell. Buffalo Bills QB Josh Allen, who is in Super Bowl contention at the moment, also felt that Brady’s statements felt more like a goodbye.

Featuring on the ‘Kyle Brandt’s Basement’ podcast, he said, “The way that [Brady] talked in his press conference last night… it seemed a little too sentimental for my liking in terms of holding onto the belief that he’s going to continue to play.”

Allen is not wrong to feel that TB12’s sentimentality was directed at something bigger.

While Brady’s words did sound more like a farewell speech- for good this time- the rumors surrounding his future are too prominent to ignore. Could his farewell statements be directed at those in Tampa Bay only? Was TB12 saying goodbye before he moved to a new team? As speculation of his future points to the Raiders or the Dolphins, there’s no saying what the QB has on his mind. Until there’s something concrete, the NFL world will have to be patient- a trait that is far from its forte.
