Tom Brady retired back in early 2023 and was recently inducted into the New England Patriots Hall of Fame. The extra time in his hands gave Brady the chance to visit the Paris Olympics, where he linked up with some of the elites of the USA NBA team who, unlike the other athletes, don’t stay in the Games’ village.
After leaving their hotel in Paris per Daily Mail.com, the team went partying. Tom Brady was also present, being a seven-time Super Bowl winner.
The recently turned 47-year-old met with the current NBA Champions Jayson Tatum, Jrue Holiday, and Derrick White of the Boston Celtics.

Can Tom Brady return to play football once more?
There are a few teams—the New York Giants, Minnesota Vikings, and Las Vegas Raiders—mostly with rookie or inexperienced quarterbacks with underwhelming seasons that could become Tom Brady’s next home. Yet there was a completely unexpected name that wanted his services last season.
The San Francisco 49ers reportedly rang the 15-time Pro Bowler as Brock Purdy was recovering from a bad shoulder and there were doubts about whether he would be fit in time to start. Head coach Kyle Shanahan told Purdy about their plan, which, according to him, was a compliment to the Iowa graduates’ success. Purdy eventually recovered enough to lead the 49ers to the NFC title and a Super Bowl appearance.
However, that was in 2023, and now it’s 2024, and Brady’s return would be tricky for various reasons.
Following his latest retirement, Brady signed a massive 10-year, $375 million deal with FOX Sports to feature as one of their lead analysts during NFL gamedays. His appointment saw longtime network contributor Greg Olsen demoted to their second-string coverage team.

Furthermore, Brady agreed (pending) with the Las Vegas Raiders to become a minority owner of the franchise. Other franchise owners would not allow the 4 time NFL passing yards leaders to suddenly suit up for a team.
ESPN’s Dan Graziano deciphered the scenario in which Brady could possibly unretire. In the veteran analyst’s view, he could replicate Joe Flacco’s path with the Cleveland Browns in 2023. Flacco played for the side after all the starters ended up in the hospital and led them to the playoffs.
Even Davante Adams expressed interest in receiving from Brady. The thought of Patrick Mahomes and Tom Brady in the same division makes the prospect even more mouth-watering.
