In a surprising twist to his storied career, Tom Brady is entertaining the idea of a return to the NFL, despite announcing his retirement in 2023. During an appearance on the podcast “DeepCuts with VicBlends,” the legendary quarterback hinted at the possibility of suiting up again, drawing parallels to Michael Jordan’s multiple comebacks in basketball.
“I’m not opposed to it,” Brady said with a candid smile when asked about returning to play if a team showed interest. His openness to a return comes amid discussions of him becoming a minority owner of the Las Vegas Raiders, a move still pending approval. This potential ownership could complicate his return to playing, as it might require league-wide approval due to NFL regulations.
Brady, who last played for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in 2022, remains a free agent and legally available to join any of the 32 NFL teams. His return would not only be a major shakeup for the league but also a testament to his enduring fitness and skill at nearly 47 years old.
“Patriots? Could be,” he teased about potential team choices, including a nod to the San Francisco 49ers and the Raiders. As the NFL community and fans speculate on his next move, Brady’s potential return continues to stir excitement and debate across the sports world.
