After the 2021-22 campaign, then-Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Tom Brady announced his retirement from the NFL. About a month-and-a-half later, he reversed his decision.
Brady proceeded to play one more season and then decided to call it quits for good, but because he changed his mind once before, people are wondering if he will do it again and re-take the field.
However, the 46-year-old has no plans of stepping back on the gridiron.
“I am not coming out of retirement,” Brady said on his Let’s Go Podcast this week. “My parents would call, my kids would call. They’d kill me. I wouldn’t be around by tonight.”
The conversation was sparked due to podcast guest and famous YouTuber Mr. Beast, who said that if Brady returned to the NFL, the ratings for Brady’s podcast would go through the roof.

But Brady doesn’t seem to intend to put the pads back on for the sake of ratings.
“As I said, you’re only allowed one unretirement. And I’ve used it up,” added Brady.
Brady spent 23 years in the NFL and established himself as the consensus greatest quarterback of all-time. During his storied career, Brady collected seven Super Bowl championships, with six of them coming with the New England Patriots and his final title with the Buccaneers in February 2021.
He made 15 Pro Bowl appearances, earned three First-Team All-Pro selections, and was named the league’s Most Valuable Player three times.

The San Mateo, Ca. native, who played his collegiate football at the University of Michigan, was famously selected by the Patriots in the sixth round of the 2000 NFL Draft.
Brady was pressed into starting duty in 2001 following an injury to Drew Bledsoe. He then proceeded to lead New England to a Super Bowl title that same year.
