“Leave us alone demon”, “Just come back”: NFL fans divided as Tom Brady jokes about possible unretirement

Tom Brady joked about a potential comeback on his new vlog series on YouTube, sending fans into a frenzy.

The former New England Patriots quarterback, who returned to the game after a brief retirement in 2022 before ending his playing career for good in 2023, said on ‘Last Week with Tom:'

“I just want to make sure all those young bucks in the NFL know that if I still wanted to come out of retirement they still got something to deal with.”

NFL fans were divided, with some wanting Tom Brady to stay retired and others suggesting he could still do it if he wanted to.

“Leave us alone demon,” one user said.

“Tom Brady just come back, enough with the teasing stuff.”

Some questioned the 47-year-old's age and urged him to look after his kids rather than worry about young QBs in the league.

“N*gga take care of your kids,” wrote one fan on X.

“Dudes EGO is huge. You’re 45-46 you don’t gotta prove it to the YOUNG BUCKS,” wrote another fan.

Many fans, however, believed that Brady could still do it in 2024.

“Bro is still a top 5 QB at 50,” wrote one fan.

“He's still better than half of the starters in the league,” wrote another fan.

Tom Brady has a lot on his plate

Tom Brady took a break from football for a year, but he's set to make a return as an analyst for Fox this coming season. The 15-time Pro Bowler will call games for Fox from Sept. 8 as he begins the first year of a 10-year, $375 million contract he signed with the broadcasting company in 2022.

“I think the analysis of what I’m actually seeing will be relatively straightforward for me,” Brady said on the “SI Media With Jimmy Traina” podcast in June. “It’s kinda what I’ve done every day. I think the preparation is something that I’ll really enjoy. The important part for me will be how do I just continue to make it fun for people to enjoy the viewing experience."

The former QB has also delved into the YouTube world with his new vlog series.
