Tom Brady would ‘love nothing’ more than return to the NFL, but it’s ‘almost impossible’

According to a source close to the former Bucs quarterback, Tom Brady would love nothing more than one last try to win another Super Bowl, but he has no plans to come out of retirement a second time.

Brady announced his retirement for the second time after 23 seasons in February and has since become a minority owner of the Las Vegas Raiders.

But according to a source close to the seven-time Super Bowl winner, Brady still has the urge to play — even if it’s one he doesn’t want to ditch.

“Tom misses football, loves to play and would love to be able to compete on the biggest stage and win another Super Bowl.” But as amazing as these thoughts sound, he has made the decision to retire from the NFL once and for all,” the source told Mail Sport.

“He’s now the owner of the Raiders and while he’s very familiar with the Las Vegas coaching staff and the fact that next season’s Super Bowl will be played in Las Vegas, that seems very unlikely and obvious at this point.” there’s almost no way Tom will come back to play for the Raiders or any other NFL team in the coming year.

Brady had two children with Bundchen (Vivian, left and Benjamin, right) and one with ex-wife Bridget Moynahan (Jack, back left).

“Right now, his other entertainment ventures and entrepreneurial endeavors, plus the fact that he’ll be a play-by-play announcer for FOX in the future, are really taking up all of his time.”

Brady is expected to hit the FOX booth in fall 2024, and he also owns a clothing brand of the same name, Brady Brand.

Brady also has his own fitness and nutrition brand, TB12, and founded production company 199 Productions in 2020.

Of course, Brady has also been able to spend more time with his family since hanging up his football boots.

While Brady and ex-wife Gisele Bundchen divorced last year — possibly because he didn’t retire from the sport, according to some reports — the former quarterback has three kids (two with Bundchen) and now has plenty of time to spend with them see.

“Being such a family man, having that extra time with his kids has been great,” the source said.

“He needs to keep busy and he does and that keeps him from returning to the field no matter how romantic it sounds to him to return to the field and no matter how flattered he is that people want him back. ‘ I think he might come back, he wants to avoid retiring.’

Brady was asked bluntly in April if he would consider coming out of retirement and playing for the Dolphins, and he didn’t answer, “No.”

“Oh man, I have to say I’m not on a team anymore, and while I have some connections to a few teams, I have some friends in the Dolphins that I really like,” he said at the eMerge Americas technology conference in Miami.

“I wouldn’t say I keep my fingers crossed for them all the time, but I wish my friends do well.”

Brady played 20 NFL seasons for the Patriots and won six rings in New England before spending his final three years in Tampa Bay.

After the 2020 regular season, he won a seventh and final ring with the Bucs.
