HE IS NOT UPTO THE TASK Antonio Pierce REJECT FIVE MEGA STAR COMMITEMENT AGAINST THE SEASON.

Tom Brady dropped a tantalising hint about a potential return to the NFL, but his ambitions could face a setback due to his interest in acquiring a minority ownership stake in the Las Vegas Raiders. The 46-year-old football legend, who recently fueled speculation of a comeback, may find himself ineligible to play if his bid to invest in the team is accepted.

During a conversation on “DeepCuts with VicBlends,” Brady was asked whether he would entertain the idea of returning to the field if a team reached out to him next season.

“I’m open to it,” Brady replied with a knowing grin. “Though, if I end up owning an NFL team, I’m not sure they’d allow me to play. It’s a bit of a grey area.”

The competitive spirit in Brady reassured fans, saying, “I’ll always be in top shape and able to throw the ball. So, perhaps a brief return, like M.J. coming back? Who knows if they’d permit it, but I wouldn’t dismiss the idea.”

In jest, the superstar quarterback even teased the possibility of rejoining his former team, stating, “Maybe the Patriots? That could be interesting.”

He also left the door open to playing for the Raiders, a team he might soon co-own, remarking, “Raiders? It’s a possibility. You never know.”

However, current NFL regulations, as outlined by Sports Business Journal’s Ben Fischer, suggest that Brady’s hopes of donning the silver and black for the Raiders are slim. The league’s owners have established that players and non-family employees cannot hold ownership stakes in their teams.

Despite this potential hurdle, Brady’s interest in returning to the field appears to be strong. Mark Davis, the owner of the Raiders, disclosed to ESPN that they have reached a preliminary agreement with Brady, pending approval from the league.

“We’re thrilled to have Tom join the Raiders,” Davis expressed. “It’s particularly exciting because he would be just the third player in NFL history to become an owner.”

The upcoming NFL season is on the horizon, and Daily Mirror US Sports will keep you informed with all the latest news, analysis, and interviews.

According to reports from The Athletic, Brady is eyeing a 10 percent share of the Raiders, a franchise valued at a staggering $6.2 billion by Forbes last year.

Nevertheless, Brady seems to be preparing for a potential career shift towards broadcasting, as he has signed a lucrative 10-year, $375 million deal with Fox Sports. Speaking to “VicBlends,” Brady expressed his determination to excel in his new role, stating, “How can I give my best every day for them?”

Since retiring from football for the second time, Brady has become a sought-after figure in sports punditry. While he has yet to make his debut in the commentary booth, fans are eagerly anticipating his insights in the upcoming season.
