49ers ‘are out’ on Tom Brady, says Shanahan pal Chris Simms

Tom Brady either will return to the New England Patriots or head to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, and the 49ers are not in the mix, according to NBC Sports’ analyst Chris Simms.

“The 49ers are out on Tom Brady,” Simms said Sunday in a NBC Sports video. “That is not going to happen. In my understanding, it was Tom Brady’s No. 1 choice, to go to San franaciso and be the starting quarterback for the San Francisco 49ers.”

While it’s not surprising that the San Mateo-born Brady may want a homecoming after 20 seasons with New England, Simms hinted that the 49ers may have considered such a free agency blockbuster.
