Tom Brady shares adorable pictures with his kids as Buccaneers QB ponders over his NFL future

Tom Brady and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers' playoff hopes were halted nearly two weeks ago. In the days since, he has said that he is taking it "day by day" and that he really doesn't know what he is going to do in terms of his career and possible retirement.

Right now, it appears that the 45-year-old quarterback's only concern is spending time with his children, Benjamin and Vivian. He posted to his Instagram story this weekend to share photos of the three of them clearly enjoying their vacation. He even captioned one of his stories with peace and love emojis.

While it's unknown where the seven-time Super Bowl champion is, it appears to be a tropical destination as photos show palm trees and vibrant sunsets.

The quarterback posted a beautiful sunset photo from his vacation.

Another photo that Tom Brady posted is of a beach. His Instagram story posts are all in sync with the quarterback enjoying some downtime with his children and some much-needed peace and relaxation after a tough NFL season.

Other photos show his ten-year-old daughter Vivian on a swing with his 13-year-old son Benjamin eating ice cream, which he captioned with emojis meaning that they were golfing and having ice cream.

Whether or not the quarterback is pondering his options now and a decision will come soon, fans will just have to wait and see. For now, it appears that he is just enjoying his time away from the game.

The Miami Dolphins are no longer interested in pursuing Tom Brady

If and when Tom Brady decides that he is ready to give his NFL career another season, there will surely be teams who will jump at the opportunity to sign him. And, as a free agent, he will be free to go wherever he wants. While the Tampa Bay Buccaneers may not be completely out of the mix, the Miami Dolphins appear to be no longer interested in possibly signing him.

ESPN NFL Insider Adam Schefter reported this week that the Miami Dolphins aren't interested in signing the quarterback. The Dolphins are committed to quarterback Tua Tagovailoa, despite injury concerns. The team apparently feels that they can continue to build and win around him.

If he does decide to return, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and Las Vegas Raiders are said to be two teams that would be quite active in trying to sign him.
