Julian Edelman played his entire 12-year career with the New England Patriots and Tom Brady, and after 20 years with the Patriots Brady joined the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, who retired last month. Whereas Julian Edelman retired in April 2021.

On April 1, 2023, Edelman reposted an old Instagram post on Twitter. The post showed him signing with the Buccaneers and had a caption suggesting a new chapter.

This year also Edelman shared the same post from last year and captioned it, “Just gonna leave this here…”. It has left fans speculating once again.
