Tom Brady Not Planning To Retire During The Season
2 years agoTampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Tom Brady doesn't plan on retiring during the middle of the 2022 season. "No retirement in my future," Brady said. The 45-year-old is dealing with marital issues in his personal life, which has led to speculation that he might decide to hang up his cleats in the middle of the year. He has looked far from the QB that led the NFL with 5,316 passing yards and 43 touchdowns in 2021, and he currently has 1,652 yards, eight touchdowns and one interception in six games played while not having his full complement of receivers for multiple games due to injuries. Tampa's offense has been sluggish so far this year, making Brady more of a low-end, low-upside QB1 option in fantasy.

Tom Brady Won't Rule Out Return To NFL
12 months agoRetired quarterback Tom Brady stated on Thursday that he wouldn't rule out returning to the NFL late in a season if a team calls in an "emergency situation." Brady, who retired from the league at the conclusion of the 2022 season, has had his name pop up in several rumors since hanging up his cleats. It appears that he still has the itch to play, but it remains to be seen whether he would actually wind up returning to the league or if a team would want his services.

Jets Won't Inquire About Tom Brady
2 years agoThe New York Jets will not be inquiring with retired quarterback Tom Brady about any interest in a return to football after Aaron Rodgers suffered a season-ending torn left Achilles on Monday night in the win over the Buffalo Bills, according to sources. Brady has also made it clear to people close to him that his playing days are officially over. That puts an end to those with hopes that we'd see the GOAT back in a football uniform in 2023. Rodgers' injury has thrust Zach Wilson back into a starting role, and Tim Boyle is the only other signal-caller on the team's roster, so they'll surely be looking to bring in another QB to give them more depth. It just won't be the best quarterback to ever play the game.

Tom Brady "Certain" He'll Remain Retired
2 years agoFree-agent quarterback Tom Brady told Sports Illustrated that he won't un-retire. "I'm certain I'm not playing again, so I've tried to make that clear and I hate to continue to profess that," said Brady. "I've already told people that lots of times." He later commented that being involved as an owner is a "dream come true." Many have speculated that the 45-year-old could be back under center in 2023-24 as a member of the Raiders, especially if he successfully purchases a piece of the franchise. Talk about Brady's potential comeback picked up more steam after it was reported Jimmy Garoppolo (foot) hadn't passed a physical. That said, it sounds like the multi-time Super Bowl winner is done playing, although most won't believe it until he isn't on the field this season.

Tom Brady Could Potentially Hold Multiple Roles In Vegas
2 years agoFree-agent quarterback Tom Brady remains retired. Yet, it appears the multi-time Super Bowl Champion has a better chance of suiting up, even while owning a part of the Raiders. It seemed impossible, but TMZ has since reported that 24 teams, not 32, could vote in favor of Brady holding multiple roles with the franchise. However, separate votes would be held for each scenario, one to approve the ownership stake and the other for Brady to play while owning a piece of the team. Of course, the 45-year-old would need to un-retire for a second time, something many believe won't ever happen. But this situation is starting to gain traction heading toward training camp. That said, Brady's return to the field won't be good news for Jimmy Garoppolo (foot), who is working on getting cleared after having surgery this offseason.
