While Brady seems set to begin life after football, NFL insider Ben Volin suggests Brady could come back in 2024.
He thinks that because Brady isn't going to start his broadcasting gig until 2024 and since he opted not to sign a new contract with the Bucs, lowering his $35 million hit brings up the possibility of him returning.
Tom Brady could be leaving his options open to return to football in 2023, says @BenVolin
He suggests this due to Brady not broadcasting until 2024 and opting not to sign a new contract w/ Tampa Bay to lower his $35M cap hit, which makes him a free agent in March https://t.co/YGJ4UhE99O
