Tom Brady, one of the greatest quarterbacks in NFL history, officially retired after the 2022 season. However, the possibility of a comeback is still a hot topic among football fans.
Brady previously retired after the 2021 season but made a surprising return for one last season with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. This time around, Brady’s retirement seemed more final as he did not make a comeback in 2023.
In a recent interview on the DeepCut Podcast, Brady hinted at the possibility of returning to the field. “I’m not opposed to it,” he said. “I don’t know if they’re going to let me by becoming an owner in an NFL team. I don’t know, I’m always going to be in good shape, always be able to throw the ball. So, to come in for a little bit like MJ [Michael Jordan] coming back, I don’t know if they’d let me, but I wouldn’t be opposed to it.”
When asked about potential teams he could play for, Brady mentioned the New England Patriots, where he had a legendary 20-year career and won six Super Bowls, and the Las Vegas Raiders, a team he could potentially own a stake in. He suggested that if either of these teams needed a quarterback towards the end of the season, he would consider returning to the field. However, his potential ownership of the Raiders could complicate any potential comeback.
Brady, who will turn 47 when the 2024 NFL season kicks off in September, still seems to have the passion and ability to compete at the highest level. Whether or not fans will see him don a football jersey again remains to be seen, but the possibility is definitely tantalizing.
