In reality, the last football game Tom Brady will (likely) ever play was for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
Symbolically, however, there remains the chance Brady could retire as a member of the New England Patriots.
Seth Wickersham, who authored It's Better to Be Feared on the Patriots' dynasty, seems to think there's a chance Brady could make the ceremonial move. Appearing on WEEI's The Greg Hill Show on Monday, Wickersham went so far to describe the chances as "strong."
"I think there [was] some indications of that from Robert Kraft after they played in early October that some of the issues that were going between Brady and the Patriots had been resolved, to an extent, and the idea of him coming back to New England for a day and retiring in those colors would be something that’s on the table," Wickersham said.
