ESPN analyst Jeff Darlington says he knows which team Brady was talking about.  He says the seven time Super Bowl champ was talking about the Saints.

From BroBible:

“I’m gonna say it as clear as day: it’s the New Orleans Saints,” Darlington said. “Regret might be a strong word because ultimately Drew Brees decided to delay his broadcasting career and come back for one more season. The Saints did the right thing by bringing Brees back. But I think that people still underestimate how close Tom Brady was to signing with the New Orleans Saints up until he ultimately decided on the Bucs. I know that that’s gonna be a statement people try to question. It’s the truth.”

The Saints would make a lot of sense.  Sticking with Drew Brees was the wrong move.

Brady won a Super Bowl with the Bucs and a very sad performance by Brees got the Saints bounced in the playoffs again.
