There was a piece of\nsurprising news on Thursday morning when ESPN\u2019s Jeff Darlington\nreported that he\u2019d be stunned if Tom Brady returned to the New\nEngland Patriots. The Hall of Famer-to-be will be hitting free agency\nfor the first time in his NFL career and speculation \u2013 for a long\ntime \u2013 has been that he might leave. With the new report out, the\nBrady\nodds<\/a> at BetOnline show that the Las Vegas Raiders are\nfavored to land him. Let\u2019s take a look at the options for Brady \u2013\nif he does in fact end up leaving.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

LAS VEGAS RAIDERS
ODDS: +175<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

The Raiders remain\nthe favorites to land Brady if he leaves. Earlier in the offseason,\nwe heard a report out of Las Vegas that they\u2019re prepared to offer\nhim a two-year, $60 million contract. At $30 million per year, that\nmight be too rich for what the Patriots want to pay Brady \u2013\nespecially after he had a bit of a down year last season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Raiders have\nalso been rumored to be wooing Brady by offering to bring in another\nbig name. For example, a package of Brady and A.J. Green or some\nother weapon to help the Raiders offense really take off in 2020.\nThey remain the favorite.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

INDIANAPOLIS COLTS
ODDS: +200<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

One of the surprise\nteams we heard both Darlington and ESPN\u2019s Adam Schefter talk about\non Thursday was the Indianapolis Colts. Previously, the Colts hadn\u2019t\nbeen viewed as a top team in the running, so this comes a little bit\nout of left field. \n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Colts appear to\nbe a team that\u2019s a quarterback away from being a Super Bowl\ncontender. Remember, before Andrew Luck abruptly retired last\noffseason, they were viewed as one of the chief contenders in the\nAFC. They have a smart head coach in Frank Reich and a strong\noffensive line. With a young roster and tons of cap room, they could\nmake a move for Brady and still have plenty of money left over to\nplug some holes on the roster.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

LOS ANGELES CHARGERS
ODDS: +300<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

The Chargers\ncontinue to be in the running for Brady as they\u2019re looking for a\nreplacement for Philip Rivers, who they parted ways with earlier in\nthe offseason. What\u2019s odd about the Chargers is that they\u2019re not\nsaying a whole lot publicly about the prospects of landing Brady.\nAnytime the topic of quarterback has come up for the Chargers,\nthey\u2019ve pointed to veteran Tyrod Taylor \u2013 a holdover from last\nyear\u2019s roster \u2013 as being the guy that they\u2019re going with.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Of course, the draw\nfor Brady here is that he\u2019d be playing in Los Angeles \u2013 a much\nbigger market than Indianapolis or Las Vegas. The Chargers are\ntypically a frugal franchise but maybe they break the bank for Brady\nas they\u2019re moving into a new stadium in 2020. Signing a guy like\nBrady is sure to pack the seats at the new SoFi Stadium.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At the same time, even if the Chargers don\u2019t offer him the biggest deal, he can probably make plenty of money on endorsements, so whatever is left on the table, he\u2019ll mop up in those marketing deals. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
