A former quarterback who once starred as “The Bachelor” has some ideas about who could be the future face of the franchise.
Jesse Palmer, the former backup quarterback for the Giants who starred on “The Bachelor” in 2004, did an interview with TMZ and agreed that Tom Brady would be a slam-dunk candidate for the reality dating show.
“He’d be legendary,” Palmer said.
“We could literally use all his houses. We could go international. He’s in L.A. He’s driving his Rolls Royce SUV around. He’s building a compound in Miami. I’m sure the guy’s got a place in Cannes somewhere. That sounds like exotic dates, overnights — right away.”
Palmer noted that the fact they could film on all of Brady’s properties would be good for the “budget,” although one would think signing Brady to appear on the show won’t come cheap.
Brady got divorced from model Gisele Bundchen during the 2022 football season.
While Brady has been spotted on multiple occasions recently with model Irina Shayk, she went on vacation with her ex-husband Bradley Cooper this past week.
So it’s unclear where Brady stands at the moment.
“There is the Irina Shayk issue, but if she’s willing to just kind of chill out for a couple months of filming, we’re solid,” Palmer said.
Other candidates Palmer said would be good for “The Bachelorette” or “The Bachelor” franchise are Simone Biles, who is unavailable as she married Packers safety Jonathan Owens earlier this year, Texans rookie quarterback CJ Stroud and Chargers star QB Justin Herbert.
“He just signed a big contract. He can afford nice dates. Justin Herbert would actually be a great one because we wouldn’t have to pay for the helicopter or the yacht,” Palmer laughed.
“That would just be covered.”
Herbert agreed last month to a five-year, $262.5 million contract extension.
