Tom Brady Reveals Near Deal with Bears

Tom Brady revealed that he seriously considered signing with the Chicago Bears in 2020 before ultimately choosing the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Brady shared that he had 18 criteria for selecting a team, which included factors like salary, weather, facilities, and proximity to his son, Jack. Despite the Bears' stealthy recruitment and a competitive offer, Brady was drawn to Tampa Bay's head coach Bruce Arians and star players Mike Evans and Chris Godwin. Brady's decision led him to win his seventh Super Bowl with the Buccaneers in his first season. This revelation has sparked speculation about how the Bears' trajectory might have changed had Brady joined them. The Bears, who have struggled with quarterback consistency, currently pin their hopes on young phenom Caleb Williams.
