Tom Brady Reveals NFL Return Talks, League Unenthusiastic About the Idea
Tom Brady recently admitted to exploring a potential return to the NFL but noted that the league “don’t like that idea very much.” Brady, who last played in January 2023 against the Dallas Cowboys, has since transitioned into other roles, becoming a part-owner of the Las Vegas Raiders and a television analyst for Fox. A league spokesperson clarified that for Brady to return as a player, he would need to divest his ownership stake in the Raiders. In an interview with CNBC Sport, Brady shared: “I actually have inquired [about a return to playing], and [the NFL] don’t like that idea very much.” “We explored a lot of different things, and I’m very happily retired.” Despite participating in a recent televised flag football game, where he threw a touchdown pass to receiver Stefon Diggs, Brady affirmed his satisfaction with retirement, stating that the game “reconfirmed to me that I’m very happy in my retirement.” As a minority owner of the Raiders, Brady described his role as flexible, saying, “there’s really no job description.” He emphasized his willingness to support the team, expressing his desire to help create a winning culture and restore the Raiders to glory. In summary, while Brady remains a beloved figure in football, his future lies off the field as he embraces new ventures.
