There were some mild rumblings about Tom Brady potentially returning to the New England Patriots for the 2023 season. However, the quarterback himself reportedly shot that idea down -- quickly.
This week on ESPN’s “Get Up!” show, NFL insider Jeff Darlington reported that Brady had weighed his options this offseason before ultimately opting to retire. With his contract with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers set to expire, the 45-year-old quarterback had a number of suitors waiting for him on the free agent market. However, Darlington stressed that Brady never seriously considered jumping to another team in 2023.
