Tom Brady revealed that he almost joined the Chicago Bears during his free agency decision in 2020, a move that could have changed the franchise's fortunes.

This revelation adds to the list of painful 'what-ifs' for Bears fans, especially considering Brady's subsequent success in Tampa, where he won a Super Bowl and dominated the NFC South.
