Tuesday night’s news is sure to fuel more speculation as to what Brady might do after this season.
Brady is set to become a free agent after this season as the final two years of his deal void on the last day of the 2019 league year.
His contract does not allow the Patriots to franchise or transition tag him for the 2020 season.
In August, Brady put his Brookline mansion on the market for $39.5 million.
In November, it was reported that Brady bought a home in Greenwich, Connecticut.
