According to new comments from 49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan, the 2023 rumors about Tom Brady potentially coming out of retirement for a second time and playing for his hometown team weren’t as crazy as they might have initially sounded.
In a recent interview with NBC Sports football reporter Peter King, Shanahan — who is set to lead San Francisco into the second Super Bowl appearance of his 49ers tenure — explained that he sincerely considered a spot for Brady prior to the start of last season.
“Yes, I was serious about it,” Shanahan told King of the thought to acquire Brady.
