Tom Brady: I was 'seriously considering' joining Bears in 2020

Tom Brady considered joining the Bears after they were “stealth” in their pursuit of him prior to the 2020 season, the former all-world quarterback said Sunday.

Now working for Fox, Brady on Sunday returned to Tampa, where he played from 2020-22 after leaving the Patriots following 20 seasons.

“Chicago was a team, and I never told that story before — they were very stealth in their recruitment,” Brady said during the broadcast. “I was seriously considering them. But at the end, it came down to Tampa.”

Brady showed a list of cards he used to weigh 18 virtues of any free-agent destination, from weather to salary to the quality of facilities.

“There were a lot of reasons to choose Tampa,” he said.

Frustrated with Mitch Trubisky, then-general manager Ryan Pace decided to trade for former Super Bowl MVP Nick Foles in March 2020. He went 2-5 in seven starts in 2020 and won his only start in 2021.

Latest on the Bears
Swift looked exactly like the running back the Bears committed $24 million over three years to in March. He hadn’t in the first three games, when he was, statistically, the worst starting running back in the NFL.
He wore Rose’s high school all-star game jersey into Sunday’s game.
Rookie quarterback Caleb Williams was not as prolific as he was against the Colts but much more efficient — which seems to be a winning formula. Shane Waldron’s offense went back to the basics — and then some — on the goal line, and it paid off.
