Tom Brady’s Potential Return to the NFL: A Game-Changer for the Patriots and Raiders?
In a surprising turn of events, Tom Brady, widely regarded as the best player in NFL history, hinted at the possibility of making a comeback to American football, specifically with the Patriots or the Raiders, should they face a quarterback emergency towards the end of the season.
“Patriots, Raiders, you never know, but I wouldn’t object. I will always be in good shape and if I can pass the ball, I wouldn’t object. So I could come back, It would be like if Michael Jordan came back,” said Brady, a seven-time Super Bowl champion.
Brady, at 46 years old, announced his retirement from the NFL in 2023 after a illustrious 23-year career, with 20 years spent in New England and three in Tampa Bay.
Speculations arose before last season that Brady could potentially return to play with the San Francisco 49ers or the Las Vegas Raiders, teams that held sentimental value for him, although this did not materialize.
Tom Brady’s Ambition to Own the Las Vegas Raiders
The 15-time Pro Bowl selection has expressed interest in becoming a minority owner of the Las Vegas Raiders, a move that would require approval from the NFL.
“I don’t know if they would let me do it if I became the owner of an NFL team, I don’t know, but what I can say right now is that if it happens maybe I wouldn’t be opposed to returning,” Brady stated.
NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell confirmed that the process for Brady to become an owner of the Raiders is progressing well, indicating a potential shift in ownership dynamics within the league.
In addition to his ownership aspirations, Brady recently signed a lucrative 10-year contract with Fox Sports to serve as a senior analyst, further solidifying his presence in the football world with a staggering $375 million deal.
