Is Tom Brady mulling a comeback? NFL insider reveals two reasons why iconic QB could make sensational return

Could Tom Brady play in 2023? The future Hall-of-Fame quarterback, who has spent 23 seasons in the NFL, retired on February 1st, 2023, shortly after the Buccaneers' season concluded.

He took to Twitter to announce the news in a minute-long video.

While Brady seems set to begin life after football, NFL insider Ben Volin suggests Brady could come back in 2024.

He thinks that because Brady isn't going to start his broadcasting gig until 2024 and since he opted not to sign a new contract with the Bucs, lowering his $35 million hit brings up the possibility of him returning.
