Tom Brady Teases Possibly Coming Out of Retirement for a Second Time

With more than two decades in the NFL under his belt and a total of seven Super Bowl rings on his hands, Tom Brady has undeniably earned his spot as one of the game's greatest quarterbacks of all time. Yet despite retiring from the league twice already, the 46-year-old isn't closing the door on professional football forever.

Brady opened up about his future in the sports world in an April 11 interview on DeepCut with VicBlends. The host mentioned that teams are sometimes in need of help if a quarterback can't play, such as Aaron Rodgers' minutes-long stint with the New York Jets last year before a season-ending injury. Blends floated the idea of Brady returning to the field if the right team called him, and Brady didn't shoot down the concept entirely.

"I'm not opposed to it," the Super Bowl champ said. "I don't know if they're gonna let me if I become an owner of an NFL team. I don't know, I'm always gonna be in good shape, always be able to throw the ball."

Brady noted that if he were to return to his beloved sport, it would be a special occasion such as Michael Jordan coming out of retirement for a second time to play for the Washington Wizards in 2001.

"To come in for a little bit, like MJ coming back, I don't know if they would let me. But I wouldn't be opposed to it," Brady said.

For now, Brady already has another job lined up as Fox Sports' lead analyst starting this fall.
