"Get over him" - NFL fans speculate about Tom Brady possibly returning to the NFL
Tom Brady officially walked away from the game of football a week ago when he announced his retirement on Instagram.
At first, many people couldn't believe it. Adam Schefter broke the news on Twitter on January 29th, and the football world lost its mind.
To make the situation even more confusing and baffling, Brady told the Bucs organization that he hadn't officially made up his mind and never informed the team about his retirement.
Tom Brady is retiring from football after 22 extraordinary seasons, multiple sources tell @JeffDarlington and me.
More coming on ESPN.com. https://t.co/6CHWmMlyXg
As the news broke about Brady still pondering his decision, it left many people wondering whether he would return next season or not. I thought Brady would have returned out of spite with Schefter and the media leaking his retirement before he could.
It would have been the most Brady-like thing to do, as he has proven many doubters and analysts wrong in the past.
Despite speculation and hopes for one last ride, Brady evidently came out and announced his retirement a few days later. As much celebration as there was congratulating Brady on his accolades, achievements, and his legacy, many were bummed that the greatest quarterback of all time would be retiring.

Skip Bayless tweeted this morning that Tom Brady is leaving the door open for a comeback. His followers seemed fed up with it.
This Twitter user simply replied by saying Brady isn't coming back.
@RealSkipBayless @undisputed He's not coming back
This Twitter user offered a unique take where players who retire should be forced to be retired for two years to avoid publicity stunts.
@RealSkipBayless @undisputed If a player announces retirement, they should be forced to stay in retirement for at least 2 years. None of this bullshit where they get all the praise, and coverage...and then all of sudden they're back..only to retire again and have the same pomp and circumstance all over again
This Twitter user responded by saying Brady will stay retired.
@RealSkipBayless @undisputed He’s still going to stay retired

This Twitter user trolled Bayless by saying maybe one day Brady will play for the Cowboys.
@PensmanG @RealSkipBayless @undisputed Leaves him hope that Brady will play for the Cowboys one day
Whether he remains retired or not is ultimately up to Brady, but it would be great to see him play football again.
