Brady was jittery in the pocket and staring at the rush in 2022, at 47 coming off one year of retirement he'd piss himself out there. Maybe on the Eagles he could still play at an above average level.

I was thinking more health than another title. He's old. He may break a hip dropping back.
Tom is still probably just as a good a bet to give you a full 17 today as at least half the starting QB in the league imo. Heck I'll take him hands down over 3/4 of the current starters in the AFC east :) (on both heath and ability at that)

Tampa Tom experience bummed me out a lot, but at this point if you wouldn't love to seem him hoist a Lombardi in SF, I dunno. I could honestly talk myself into it making sense for a New England return, too.

Going against the grain, I guess, I don’t like this. I want him to stay retired. It’s getting really odd to me that he can’t move on.

The guy feels like he can still do it. I wouldn't bet against him, though I imagine there's an elevated chance of injury when he gets sacked.

Personally, I'd love to see him come back and keep Mahomes from a three-peat.

It really is like Jordan with the (Bullets) /Wizards. They had no real chance of competing. I think the guy just wants to play. I think he made his 2nd retirement announcement in an emotional moment, knew he couldn’t go back on that and painfully sat out the year and he’s dying to get back out there while there still time.

He'd get killed with this OL - or more specifically, LT - as the rest of the line might be decent this coming year. And with nothing close to a number one. But if say one of those things get solved through the draft, this gets intriqing albeit still improbable. His great connection to the Pats is there, and might be even more attractive without BB. And who might he bring wih him? Gronk out of retirement? Maybe somehow helping a quality receiver to be traded here like Evans? Even if somehow all these things aligned, it would still have to be a part time or half season gig, maybe after an ijury or poor QB play.

No he wouldn't, he would just get rid of the ball immediately like he did basically his entire final year in Tampa.

If you are referring to a comeback on the Raiders, sure.

I mean the fit is there. The Raiders are a franchise that oozes a Jets' like vibe of relevancy desperation since making that move to Vegas. Bring him in, probably with the Aaron Rodgers' GM level say perk package, and like the Jets last year the Raiders instantly go from one of the least interesting teams in the NFL to the one dominating all the headlines even if/when things don't play out all that well for him on the field. For a guy looking to make his own long term investment in said team it's a clear win waiting to happen on a business level.
