Actually, Tom Brady never received an offer from the San Francisco 49ers in the free agency period you're likely referring to (March 2020). While there were reports he was interested in playing for his hometown team, the 49ers ultimately decided to stick with Jimmy Garoppolo, who had led them to a Super Bowl appearance the previous season.
Here's a breakdown of what we know:
Brady's interest: Several reports indicated Brady wanted to play for the 49ers, possibly even making it his top choice.
49ers' decision: Despite these reports, the 49ers passed on Brady, citing Garoppolo's age and existing contract as factors.
No formal offer: It's important to note that there's no concrete evidence of a formal offer being made by the 49ers. Discussions might have occurred, but ultimately, they didn't pursue him further.
So, while Brady didn't decline an offer, the 49ers' decision not to actively pursue him led him to sign with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, where he subsequently won another Super Bowl. This turn of events has fueled speculation and debate about the 49ers' choice.
