Tom Brady is still talking about coming out of retirement. Even at the age of 47. Kind of.
Brady released a video encapsulating his 72 hours attending the 2024 Paris Olympics. Within seconds of the segment, the seven-time Super Bowl champion is asked about his “flexing” on social media.
“I just want to make sure all those young bucks in the NFL know that if I still wanted to come out of retirement, they still got something to deal with,” he said, throwing a football off of a yacht.
Later in the video though, Brady says he spends “zero” days a week during retirement throwing the pigskin. Which is it, Tommy?

Tom Brady Coming Out Of Retirement?
It’s not the first time Tom Brady has been talking about coming out of retirement. It was just a few months ago he admitted he wouldn’t be opposed to the idea.
“I’m not opposed to it,” Brady said. “I don’t know if they’re going to let me if I become the owner of an NFL team. But I don’t know — I’m always going to be in good shape, always be able to throw the ball.”
“To come in for a little bit like [Michael Jordan] coming back, I don’t know if they’d let me, but I wouldn’t be opposed to it.”
That said, the comments in this video are clearly made in jest. Just a little ribbing from the old guy to let the youngins know that if he really wanted to … he could.
And frankly, it’s true. He could.

Brady’s Broadcast Debut
Tom Brady is set to make his official NFL broadcasting debut with Fox Sports in September when he will be part of the broadcast team for the game between the Dallas Cowboys and the Cleveland Browns in Week 1 of the NFL season. He will work alongside lead play-by-play announcer Kevin Burkhardt.
Brady’s deal with Fox is reported to be the largest in sports broadcasting history, with a 10-year contract worth $375 million.
So why he would want to come out of retirement and forfeit that kind of cash is anybody’s guess. Then again, Brady turning down cash to help his team is why he has more hardware than anyone who has ever played.
He had a brief stint as an analyst during the UFL’s (United Football League) championship game earlier this year. Brady later handed out the UFL championship MVP Trophy and was met with a smattering of boos.
Brady was the oldest quarterback in Super Bowl history to start, play, win, and receive the MVP award when he led the Tampa Bay Buccaneers to victory in Super Bowl LV. He was 43.
His arm still looks pretty solid at 47. Brady could probably contribute to an NFL team well into his 50s if we’re being honest.
