Tom Brady lately stated he was “not opposed” to a possible third NFL stint.
The seven-time Super Bowl champion was requested on the “Deep Cuts” podcast if he would “pick up the phone” to fill a group’s quarterback void as a consequence of damage.
“I’m not opposed to it,” Brady stated with a smile.

“I don’t know … I’m always going to be in good shape, always be able to throw the ball. So, to come in for a little bit, like MJ [NBA legend Michael Jordan] coming back, I don’t know if they’d let me, but I wouldn’t be opposed to it,” Brady stated.
Former huge receiver Julian Edelman caught passes from Brady for 12 years with the New England Patriots, so not many are extra within the learn about Brady’s intentions than Edelman.
He is not so positive.
“No bro! The guy is in St. Tropez right now,” Edelman stated in a latest interview with Fox News Digital.

Edelman joked that he cannot even get his former quarterback on his podcast.
“We have zero connection proper now as a result of I maintain asking him, ‘Come on “Games With Names.” Come on “Games With Names.” Come on “Games With Names.”‘” And he never responds. So, I have no clue,” Edleman said.
“That whole thing with the interview, I saw it. The wording was if someone got hurt late in the season, do you think you can do it? And Tom’s a assured man. He positively thinks he can go do it. Is he gonna do it? I don’t assume so. Probably not.”
However, Edelman did say Brady is “loopy” and “aggressive,” and the fact that there is a new quarterback in the GOAT conversation could prompt his return.

“Patrick Mahomes is arising on him, possibly Tom comes again and sneaks one other Super Bowl to separate himself,” Edelman said.
Mahomes still has a long way to go after just winning his third championship. However, if the Kansas City Chiefs three-peat next season, he’d become the youngest quarterback to win four Super Bowls, putting him on pace to top Brady.
