Tom Brady and Gisele Bündchen have reportedly placed their Brookline mansion on the market with an asking price of $39.5 million.

Jeff Darlington of NFL Network shared this news Tuesday, offering up the possibility that this decision is tied to the news that Brady will become a free agent after the 2019 season for the first time in his career.

This isn’t to say Brady is making real estate decisions with the sole intention of leaving the Patriots at the end of the 2019 season – which his contract would reportedly allow – but it most certainly paves the way for their family’s roots in the Boston area to loosen. (2/4)

In other words, everything is now on the table: After this season, Tom Brady will be able to make a decision about his football future without the burden of family or contract to influence his mind. It will be solely about where he wants to finish his NFL career. (4/4)

Though Brady did sign a two-year extension with the New England Patriots, multiple reports have come out since that news broke indicating it will expire after the 2019 season, making him a free agent.

Brady is set to enter his age-42 season, and while it’s near impossible to envision him playing for any other franchise than New England, the same was said of Joe Montana before he signed with Kansas City.

Likely, this real-estate decision isn’t tied whatsoever to Brady’s football future. But we cannot rule out the possibility that it is, either.
