Tom Brady & Josh McDaniels Patriots Reunion? Raiders Owner Mark Davis Rumor
Tom Brady is an NFL rumor centerpiece - which, by the way, we don't think he much minds - and the latest gossip has him involved in a New England Patriots "reunion'' of a sort.
The Las Vegas Raiders, ready to give up on Derek Carr, are about to start shopping for new starting quarterback ... with Raiders owner Mark Davis reportedly lusting for Brady to do the job in 2023.

"He wanted Brady before when Jon Gruden finally turned it down and now, he wants Brady again. Mark thinks having McDaniels is going to be the key.
