Brady confirmed that this retirement will not be a repeat of what happened last year when he came out of his first retirement after 40 days in February 2022. However, when Colin Cowherd asked him if there was even a 1% chance of a return, Brady didn’t say no. The seven-time Super Bowl champion is just happy with his present decision and wants to make no future calls at the moment.
The other big sign giving Brady fans some hope of a return is TB12’s decision to not join the Fox Sports desk until the fall of 2024. Brady said he wanted to be ready for the $375 million 10-year job when he joins Kevin Burkhardt. However, fans suspected something fishier.
