Hall of Fame Quarterback Sees Possibility of Tom Brady Playing for Raiders in 2023
The Tom Brady saga surrounding whether or not he will once again come out of retirement to play in the NFL has been hot and heavy.
The topic has only garnered more attention since the announcement of Brady becoming a minority owner in the Las Vegas Raiders last week and has even become the leading candidate and betting favorite to become the Raiders' next starting quarterback according to betonline.ag following Jimmy Garoppolo's failed physical.
With the rumors still floating about, those associated in anyway with covering sports or the NFL in general have thoughts on whether or not Brady returning to the game is possible or even feasible at this point.
Former Dallas Cowboys' legendary quarterback and lead commentator for ESPN's Monday Night Football, Troy Aikman, spoke with TMZ Sports on if he thinks Brady could indeed come out of retirement to join the team he just became a minority owner of.

"I don't want to speak for Tom," Aikman told Babcock, but "I wouldn't rule anything out."
Aikman cites his reasoning behind this as Brady's ability to keep himself in top-notch shape along with his outstanding relationship with current Raiders' head coach Josh McDaniels, not to mention the minority ownership aspect.
"I would bet that just nothing is off the table," Aikman said, "as far as what may occur during the season or what Tom's role may be."
The Raiders did just sign Jimmy Garoppolo to a nice-sized to deal to become the team's starting quarterback, but with his ability to pass a physical up in the air, nothing can be ruled out even though Aikman does believe that Brady is done playing.
"But," the Hall of Famer added, "you just never know."
Brady won six of his seven Super Bowls during his time with the New England Patriots and his last after coming to Tampa Bay in his first season with the organization. He will most likely go down as the best quarterback to ever play the game, but with Tom, there is no telling what adventure awaits him next.
