Is Tom Brady Eyeing Another NFL Return?
A little over a month ago, Tom Brady took to social media to officially announce his retirement from the NFL after 23 seasons. The announcement was far from surprising, considering the 45-year old quarterback had essentially accomplished everything there is to accomplish at the professional level. In fact, Brady was so prolific during his 23 seasons that he essentially put together three Hall of Fame careers in one.

Although it's far more likely that Brady remains retired this time, at least one NFL commentator is giving some life to the rumor that a potential return is once again a possibility for the GOAT.
On Monday, Rich Eisen ran through a list of the Top 5 rumors he heard during his time in Indianapolis for the recent NFL Combine. At No. 1 - Tom Brady's potential return to the NFL.

On The Rich Eisen Show, @richeisen said he heard from a couple of people that, “Tom Brady may not be done after all.”
He added, “And the one place that folks are saying keep an eye out for is Miami.” 👀 pic.twitter.com/oPz4eFHhUq
According to Eisen, Miami is rumored to be the most likely destination for what would be Brady's second return from retirement.
"The one place that folks are saying keep an eye out for is Miami. And if the Dolphins - if they get somehow, some way - a doctors report, a piece of information from a medical evaluation of Tua that he may not be ready to go, and suddenly there's Tom Brady sitting in Florida where his family is located, and where he can easily locate himself. 'Keep an eye on that,' I was told by a couple of birdies at the combine."
Although Brady is set to begin his broadcasting career with FOX Sports in the Fall of 2024, he'll have the upcoming 2023 football season all to himself - meaning he could certainly opt for another year of professional football if the circumstances are right.
