In 2023, Tom Brady decided to retire from the NFL after a long and successful career. However, the seven-time Super Bowl champion may not be entirely done with football, as he recently opened the door to a potential comeback.

After securing seven Super Bowl titles, the legendary quarterback announced his retirement two years ago. Nevertheless, the idea of a comeback has continued to circulate—and now, he’s given a surprising update.
