Ex-teammate thinks Tom Brady might consider joining 49ers

Before Tom Brady grew into the greatest quarterback in NFL history he was a kid from San Mateo who dreamed of playing for the 49ers. Could Brady’s dream, put on hold for decades, finally come true at age 43?

One of his former teammates went as far as saying if Brady ever plays for anyone else but the Patriots, it would be for his hometown 49ers.

Ex-NFL defensive end Chris Long wrote a guest column for Sports Illustrated in which he speculated perhaps there’s an outside chance Brady would utilize the opt-out clause in his recently signed contract to head back home.
