However, Brady has since stated that, given the correct conditions, he might still have football left in him.
Given that he may hold an ownership stake in the Las Vegas Raiders, Tom Brady’s intriguing hint about returning to the NFL could run into trouble. If the 46-year-old legend’s bid for a minority ownership share in the team is approved, he may not be allowed to play, despite recent whispers of a comeback.
During an interview on ‘DeepCuts with VicBlends’, Brady was asked if he would contemplate returning to the field if a team called him the following season.
Brady grinned knowingly and answered, “I’m not against it.” “I don’t know if they’re gonna let me, if I become an owner of an NFL team, but I don’t know if – I don’t know.”
Ever the competitor, Brady gave supporters his word, saying, “I’ll always be able to throw the ball and I’m going to be in good shape.” To come in for a brief visit, similar to M.J.’s return? I wouldn’t be against it, but I’m not sure if they would let me.”
The elite quarterback also jokingly proposed a trip back to his former haunts, stating: “Patriots? Might be.
In addition, he added, “Raiders? “, hinting that he would eventually co-own the team with whom he plays. Perhaps. You never know.”
But as Ben Fischer of Sports Business Journal noted, Brady’s prospects of donning the Raiders’ silver and black are limited by last year’s NFL rules. The owners have made the decision to prohibit players and non-family employees from owning stock in their teams.
The NFL legend Tom Brady may be thinking about making a spectacular comeback to the field, which might mean giving up on a possible ownership position in the Raiders. The team’s owner, Mark Davis, told ESPN that they had come to a tentative agreement, pending approval from the league.
“We’re thrilled that Tom will be joining the Raiders,” Davis said. “And it’s exciting because he will be just the third player in the history of the National Football League to become an owner.”
According to The Athletic, Brady is interested in acquiring 10% of the Raiders, who Forbes estimated to be worth an incredible $6.2 billion last season.
