Tom Brady the three-time NFL MVP has expressed that he is open to returning as an emergency quarterback

Tom Brady, the legendary quarterback, has left the door open for a potential return to the NFL, expressing his openness to play again if a team requires an emergency quarterback. Despite retiring in 2022 and then coming out of retirement shortly after to play his 23rd and final season in the NFL, Brady has hinted at the possibility of lacing up his boots once more.

In a recent interview with the DeepCut podcast, Brady stated, “I’m not opposed to it,” when asked about the prospect of returning to the field. However, he made it clear that he ruled out a full return to professional football. The 46-year-old former New England Patriots and Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback, who is a seven-time Super Bowl champion, is still in admirable physical shape and confident in his ability to throw the ball.

Despite this willingness to consider a return, Brady’s future in the NFL may not solely revolve around playing. In a notable move, he reached an agreement with the Las Vegas Raiders to become part of the organization’s ownership group, although the league’s approval is pending. Reflecting on this potential ownership role, Brady expressed uncertainty, saying, “I don’t know if they are going to let me [return as a player] if I become an owner of an NFL team.”

With an illustrious career and an outstanding record as the NFL’s all-time regular-season leader in key passing categories, including pass attempts, completions, passing yards, and touchdown passes, Brady’s impact on the league is undeniable. The quarterback’s legacy is further highlighted by his three Most Valuable Player titles and a record five Super Bowl MVP awards.

While it remains to be seen whether the NFL would permit Brady to return as a player while holding an ownership position, his unique combination of experience, skill, and leadership ensures that his involvement in the sport, whether on or off the field, will continue to captivate fans and shape the league’s narrative.
