Brady recently sparked non-retirement rumors by saying he was “not opposed” to a return to the NFL.

Brady won six Super Bowl titles in 20 seasons with New England before moving to Tampa Bay.

Brady spent 20 seasons and won six Super Bowl titles during his memorable run with the Patriots. After ending the historic partnership between him, Bill Belichick, and the team, Brady headed to Tampa Bay, where he led the Buccaneers to a title in 2021.

After his second season with the Bucs, Brady announced his retirement before opting out during the same offseason to try his hand at one more chance in the NFL.

After losing to the Dallas Cowboys in the 2022 Wild Card round, Brady announced he was retiring “for good.”

As rumors swirled about his return, Brady appeared on DeepCut with VicBlends and said he was “not opposed” to lacing up his cleats. However, Brady acknowledged how his new role as part-owner of the Las Vegas Raiders could be a hindrance.

“I’m not opposed to it,” Brady shared. “I don’t know if they’re going to let me own an NFL team.”

“I will always be in good shape. I’ll still be able to throw the ball,” he added. “Coming in a little bit like MJ (Michael Jordan) is coming back – I don’t know if they would let me, but I wouldn’t be opposed to it.”
