The year 2022 has become a fairground ride for Tom Brady. He was indeed a football player at one stage. Even though Brady opts to retire, he’s now back on the football field. His stated aim throughout his short retirement would be to become a minority owner of the Miami Dolphins. However, Coach Brian Flores’ dispute could have been the biggest impediment to Payton and Brady collaborating in a franchise.

A Tom Brady fanatic would believe that the redemption of the quarterback in the NFL would be monumental. Little did they know that perhaps the athlete had some major thing in the world during his retirement stint. With major speculations and breaking news, the notion that Tom Brady would eventually wind up in Miami became one of the most intriguing stories to swirl this summer, and it came a lot tighter to being a reality than everyone else imagined.

After 2023, what’s next for Tom Brady?

There is a chance that Tom Brady will quit after 2022. Nevertheless, if we consider his retirement in 2022 for what it really is, it becomes less meaningful. It wasn’t so much a departure from the sport, as it was an attempt to leave the Bay. Even if things didn’t materialize, it’s a factor to consider because Brady will continue to be mentioned as a possible Dolphins’ owner.

Brady will have the unrestricted opportunity to sign with whichever team he wants. He’ll have a plethora of choices after this year. Among them is the possibility of becoming the Dolphins’ future quarterback.
