Tom Brady is back in the headlines, like he never left. The 48-year-old former Bucs QB recently opened up about the possibility of returning to the top league, and why it ultimately didn’t happen.
Brady was spotted playing alongside the likes of Jalen Hurts, Joe Burrow and Odell Beckham Jr at the Fanatics Flag Football Classic in Los Angeles, leading to speculation about the seven-time Super Bowl winner returning to the field.
However, in an interview with CNBC, Brady said the NFL doesn’t like the idea of him un-retiring, and that he’s very happily retired.
Ownership complications, specifically his role as a minority owner of the Las Vegas Raiders, appear to be a key obstacle to a return to active play.
This isn’t the first time Brady has flirted with returning after stepping away, and despite exploring possibilities behind the scenes, Brady appears content with life after football.
Brady recently shared a cryptic message on Instagram, which reads: “Be the one they never saw coming... Greatness isn’t found in balance. It’s built in extremes. Pressure and precision. Fire and focus. Chaos and control. You weren’t made to compete. You were made to take over.”
