Tom Brady says he's weighed coming out of retirement, but the NFL didn't like
the idea
Tom Brady revealed in an interview released on Thursday that he considered
coming out of retirement, but the National Football League wasn't particularly
receptive to the idea.
Brady, a seven-time Super Bowl champion and minority owner of the Las Vegas
Raiders, was asked in a recent interview with CNBC if he's looked into the
rules regarding a minority owner returning to NFL play.
"I actually have inquired, and they (the NFL) don't like that idea very much,
so I'm going to leave it at that," Brady said. "We explored a lot of different
things, and I'm very happily retired. Let me say that, too."
It wouldn't have been Brady's first time coming out of retirement. The
three-time league MVP briefly retired during the 2022 offseason after two
seasons with the Buccaneers. He had a change of heart 40 days later and went on
to play for one more year before retiring "for good" in February 2023.
Brady recently turned heads in the Fanatics Flag Football Classic, where he
played alongside Jalen Hurts, Devonta Smith, Stefon Diggs and Raiders running
back Ashton Jeanty. He also reunited on the field with his teammate of 11
seasons and four-time time Super Bowl champion Rob Gronkowski.
