"He's coming back" - NFL analyst feels Tom Brady isn't done yet
At the beginning of the month, legendary quarterback Tom Brady announced his retirement, a move that many knew would happen eventually. Since then, there has been speculation on whether or not he will come out of retirement,
Yesterday on The Greg Hill Show, NFL insider Boomer Esiason said he thinks Tom Brady is coming back. Stating that the financial incentive to keep playing could prove to be a big factor in whether he will make his comeback.
"I think, I think he’s coming back. The other thing too that people forget when I retired I was making like $800,000 a year and TV afforded me more money and a little bit more safety. Nowadays the money is so big and so significant and of course you’ll love to play the game, and I’d love to play the game at $30-$35 million a year… it’s a lot of money to turn down,” said Esiason.
Esiason also mentioned that this past weekend's Super Bowl would surely have been tough to watch for Brady, as his team wasn't in the game.
“I would imagine if he were watching this game yesterday he was probably sick to his stomach that his team wasn’t in it,” Esiason added

Tom Brady announces retirement
Tom Brady officially hung up his cleats on February 1st amid growing speculation that he may return again for another season.

After 22 seasons in the NFL, Brady retired as a seven-time Super Bowl champion, topping the list of several major passing categories. He is the leader in passing yards, passing touchdowns and passes completed.
If Brady does remain retired, it would be sad for fans hoping to see him back under center. However, he has nothing left to prove and would still be deemed the G.O.A.T even if he doesn't play another snap in his life.
Tom Brady hasn’t ruled out a comeback
Brady has been flirting with the idea of a potential comeback and he addressed the issue on his podcast, "Let's Go!" with co-host Jim Gray.
"You never say never.. I don't know how I'll feel six months from now. It may change. It may not," said Brady regarding the possibility of coming out of retirement.
Esiason isn't the only one who thinks Brady will unretire. Cassius Marsh recently told Fox News that he thinks Brady will make a comeback, while the quarterback's favorite target Rob Gronkowski also reckons he might come out of retirement in the future.
