The renowned NFL quarterback Tom Brady has made references to a possible comeback to the game. He was asked if he would think about coming back during his most recent appearance on “DeepCuts with VicBlends,” in the event that a team in need of a quarterback reached out to him this season.
“I have nothing against it,” Brady answered, almost controlling a smile. “I don’t know if they’re gonna let me, if I become an owner of an NFL team, but I don’t know if – I don’t know.”
“I’ll always be in good physical condition and have the ability to toss the ball. To come in for a brief visit, similar to M.J.’s return? I wouldn’t be against it, but I’m not sure if they would let me.”
Brady’s career could be modeled by Michael Jordan, who notably left the NBA three times between 1993 and 2003. After announcing his retirement in 2022, the 46-year-old former quarterback joined the Tampa Bay Buccaneers forty days later. Following that, in 2023, he declared his second retirement, saying that he was done playing “for good.”
However, Brady’s upcoming NFL ownership could provide an issue if he is serious about returning to the game. League regulations would probably need every NFL team to accept the veteran New England Patriot’s playing contract if he is ever granted a minority ownership position in the Las Vegas Raiders.
Fox Sports, who reportedly gave Tom Brady a huge 10-year, £282 million contract to appear in their broadcast booth, may not be happy with his return to the NFL.
Brady recently acknowledged in a podcast that he is “behind” his playing days and says he is now focused on helping his new Fox colleagues, acknowledging that they “took a chance on me.”
“How can I get up every day and do the best for them?” Brady thought to himself when talking about his new position as a broadcaster. Brady himself engaged in a lighthearted game of conjecture, although it still appears doubtful that he will make a comeback on the field: “Patriots? Might be,” he hinted, then added, “Raiders? Might be. You never know.”
There was a lot of talk last season about Brady and the 49ers possibly joining forces. Nick Wagoner of ESPN even suggested earlier this year that Brady would be approached by San Francisco to postpone his retirement.
The head coach of the 49ers, Kyle Shanahan, acknowledged efforts to get Brady back on the field. He admitted to NBC Sports before of Suρer Bowl LVIII, saying, “Yes, I was serious about it.”
Shanahan was looking for a new main man because top player Brock Purdy was still sidelined due to an elbow ιnjury sustained during the NFC championship game in January 2023. “I actually thought it was giving Brock the biggest compliment,” Shanahan said, reflecting on his talk with Brock. “I let him know he’s our guy long-term.” Without a doubt. And the only way Tom Brady wouldn’t start this year when healthy is if he came here and played for a year.”
“That’s pretty cool,” he continued. ‘Don’t worry,’ I wаnted to reassure him. You are our man. However, how awesome would it be to have Tom Brady start at quarterback for us for a single season? How awesome would it be to get knowledge from him? “.”
