There was some buzz about three years ago that Tom Brady could be the man to replace Drew Brees as the New Orleans Saints starting quarterback, and one NFL insider for ESPN indicates that it was closer to becoming a reality than many realize.

Brady ultimately landed with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, and then led the team to a Super Bowl championship in his first season with the team in February of 2021



Jeff Darlington explained during the ESPN Daily podcast last week that Brady very well could have landed with the Saints if Brees had retired following the 2019 season.

"I have to take you back to a time when Tom Brady had decided that he was leaving the New England Patriots, and the Tampa Bay Bucs were absolutely at the top of his list. But so too were another team, and that was the New Orleans Saints coached by Sean Payton,” Darlington said.

Payton and Brady share the same agent, Don Yee, and the close connection between the two men became more apparent recently when the Miami Dolphins were punished by the NFL for tampering with both Payton and Brady. The Dolphins had attempted to lure the coach and quarterback to South Florida.
