Tom Brady Shuts Down Raiders Speculation, I'm Retired For Good!

Tom Brady is NOT coming out of retirement to play quarterback for the team he’ll soon own … emphatically saying a return to the football field simply ain’t happening, despite endless speculation.

In an interview with Sports Illustrated, the 46-year-old 7-time winning Super Bowl champ made it clear he’s done for good … and there will be no unretirement this time around.

“I’m certain I’m not playing again. I’ve tried to make that clear and I hate to continue to profess that ‘because I’ve already told people that lots of times but I’m looking forward to my broadcasting job at FOX next year,” Brady said.

Tom, who retired for the second time in February, continued … “I’m looking forward to the opportunity ahead with the Raiders and we’re in the process of that along with the other different things I’m a part of professionally and in my personal life.”

Brady recently agreed to terms with Mark Davis and is in the process of becoming a minority owner of the Las Vegas Raiders.

During a conversation with Troy Aikman last week, the NFL legend told us he could envision a situation where Brady came down from the owner’s suite, threw on pads, and played QB for the team.

The 3-time Super Bowl champ was far from alone in considering the possibility. Add to it, the NFL allows owners to play, provided 75% of the teams approve via a leaguewide vote. Getting the votes would presumably not be a problem … as Brady is great for business.

But, it’s all just talk … ’cause Tom says it simply isn’t going to happen. His days as a signal caller are over.

As for what he will do, Brady’s plans center around his children.

“Just spending as much time with my kids as I can and seeing them grow up and support the different things that they have going on. That’s a very important job. I take them all pretty seriously.”

Will Tom’s latest interview finally quell the speculation? Let’s be honest … 😅
