Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Tom Brady spoke to the media for the first time since returning from his excused absence, and while touching on the rumors surrounding that brief period, he also discussed the rumors about playing for a different team. 

Most recently, it was UFC president Dana White saying that he nearly executed a plan in 2020 to bring Brady and one of his favorite targets, tight end Rob Gronkowski, to the Las Vegas Raiders before it was nixed by then-Raiders head coach Jon Gruden. 

Brady, though, was very candid when bringing up these rumors, saying Tampa Bay was the only place he wanted to go after his long tenure with the New England Patriots.

"I read all these different stories about all these difference places I was supposed to go or could have gone. I was only going to go to one place, which was here," he told reporters after the Bucs’ loss to the Indianapolis Colts on Saturday. "I think this whole organization knows that and all the conversations we’ve had over a period of time, I chose the right place for me."

Brady added that owner Joel Glazer, GM Jason Licht and his head coaches, Bruce Arians and now Todd Bowles, have all done great effort to "make the relationship work."

"It’s been an amazing relationship and I appreciate everyone for allowing me to come down here and experience this part of my football life, which I look back and probably been incomplete if I had not had it," Brady said. 

TOM BRADY ON 11-DAY ABSENCE FROM BUCS CAMP: ‘THERE’S A LOT OF S--- GOING ON'

Other than the Raiders, the NFL found that the Miami Dolphins was another potential destination for Brady until former head coach Brian Flores filed a lawsuit against the team. Investigation found that the Dolphins spoke to Brady four different times when they shouldn’t have, as they wanted him to play in Miami and even become a minority owner in the franchise. 

On his 11-day absence, Brady said "it’s all personal" as to why he stepped away from the game. 

"You know everyone’s got different situations they’re dealing with, so we all have very unique challenges to our life," he said. "I’m 45 years old, man, there’s a lot of s--- going on. Just got to figure out life the best you can. It’s a continuous process."

But Brady says that his focus hasn’t taken a toll as he heads into his 23rd NFL season. 

He played in the final preseason game against the Colts, his only action in a game prior to the start of the regular season, where he connected on six of his eight passes for 44 yards.
