The Athletic already has a story � citing anonymous executives and an agent � on the team's quarterbacking journey possibilities. The headline item is a partnership with Tom Brady, who will become a 46-year-old divorcé ahead of next season. The first anonymous executive says «the chatter» is that Brock Purdy will be Brady's backup, and Trey Lance will end up somewhere like Tennessee.
Tom Brady should undoubtedly receive interest on the open market with the number of lingering quarterback situations, paired with several teams looking to remain competitive with their current rosters.
However, it's tough to argue that any of those teams would provide Brady with the core group of weapons that the 49ers currently possess, arguably the best skill position class he has played with in his career.
