He'll fuck up his legacy if he does this. You can't just come back at the end of the season, I don't care how pliable Brady is.

Watched his entire career except the last in Tampa being a pats fan. I don't think he has anyone in his life now to say no to him now.

Plus is it me or did Brady get a lot more manic in the last few years. He gets that crazy look in his eyes more nowadays. Like he's been up all night doing coke and you walk into the kitchen at 7 and he has a full course breakfast cooked up for you.

Just stay retired. Enjoy life. Ask the refs to call a hold on the chiefs instead of letting them get away with it when mahomes runs.

The only way he he f***s up his legacy is if he's found guilty of human trafficking.

His football accomplishments are settled. Nothing he does on the field after age 43 impacts his NFL career because no one plays NFL QB after age 43.

Kind of surprised he doesn't go into coaching and try to win at least 2 more rings. You know, so he'll be ahead of Bill.

He'll fuck up his legacy if he does this.

The only people who think it'll hurt his legacy are the kind of copers who are still harping on about deflated footballs.

Normal people won't care what happens in a potential comeback just like nobody cares about Jordan's Wizards days.

He must hate his kids.

 

[Ownage]

He sounds bored and misses the glory. It's tough to come down from a pedestal.

 

[starfire1978]

Broncos probably doing back flips to get him.

43 is still relatively young but... No. Just stop. Enjoy your millions of dollars and do nothing but go on vacations with your kids. Your legacy is cemented... ENJOY! Ya bloody cu... I mean, you go good man!

He's 46 tho

 

[NecrosaroIII]

He's 46 tho

Yup. Hell be 47 when the next season starts.

He's probably just stirring the pot

 

[DeafTourette]

He's 46 tho

*Sigh*

He needs help.

 

[bender]

47 is still relatively young...

 

[OmegaSupreme]

47 is still relatively young...

For a non athlete sure. He's pretty fucking ancient for a football player. I don't think there's anyone in the league now as old as him.

 

[chromhound]

Spend time with your kids bruh

 

[diffusionx]

Brady has been talking for a year about how easy they made the game with the rule changes and how soft the new generation is. This is in him saying that he feels like he can just drop in a team and play well. And.... I think he's right. And by saying he's "not opposed to" doing this, he is saying "please, somebody, call me up and I will join your team." He wants back in. He just wasn't feeling the end of his time in TB with Bowles in charge which his totally understandable. If Shanahan called him up to join the 49ers last year he would have, I guarantee it.

Spend time with your kids bruh

Gets old fast and his kids are teenagers, they don't want to spend time with their dad.

 

[Woggleman]

He should just become a commentator.

 

[German Hops]

He should move on to becoming a world-class chef;

I don't follow football closely (or even distantly), but for those that do, where would Brady in 2024 rank versus the worst QB in the league?

After a few weeks. Pretty sure he be still in the top 10 qbs in the league

 

[Hawking Radiation]

Whoa, what?! He's god damn 46 years old

How many 46 year olds are out there that can perform at their peak in this sport?

Retired a GOAT. Just stay retired as a GOAT

 

[Unknown Soldier]

Someone tell this man to get back together with Giselle already jeez

 

[Thaedolus]

I mean, if the Raiders wanted to hire him and he wins another Super Bowl? I’d forgive the snow bowl

 

[newtypepilot]

he's also not opposed to schilling for scams

 

[Mr Reasonable]

If he wants to play, and could do so at what is still an elite level, I'm not so sure why people seem so keen for him to stand down.

Is it just not wanting a legend to be tarnished?

 

[IDKFA]

That bitch and the other Americans have caused enough damage to my club. We were dreaming of playoffs before they started to meddle. Now we're in another relegation dog fight.

I can only hope that this is true and he fucks off back to playing NFL.

Nothing can be tarnished what all he done. His is set.

47 is still relatively young...
