As Tom Brady continues to mull his next career move, at least one team apparently plans to stay out of the mix of what could be a frantic free-agency pursuit of the seven-time Super Bowl champion: the Dolphins.
Miami is not expected to pursue Brady, even if the veteran quarterback decides to return to the NFL for the 2023 season, according to ESPN’s Adam Schefter. Instead, the Dolphins will stick with rising fourth-year signal-caller Tua Tagovailoa behind center.
Brady, who will turn 46 in August, has not yet announced if he plans to return for a 24th NFL season, but he stands to become an unrestricted free agent at the conclusion of the league year and should garner significant interest from teams around the league. He previously has been connected to the Dolphins, but the franchise was punished by the league this past offseason for tampering with Brady on multiple occasions in recent years.
