Tom Brady says he has thought about returning to the NFL, but the league isn't a fan of the idea. In an interview released on Thursday, Brady told CNBC he has asked about the eligibility rules for a minority owner. He says the NFL wasn't too receptive and he's also very happily retired. Brady owns a minority stake in the Las Vegas Raiders. Brady first retired in the 2022 offseason, then returned after 40 days. He retired again in February 2023. He recently turned heads in a Fanatics flag football event.
Team USA doesn’t need NFL players to help it go for the gold when flag football debuts at the Olympics in 2028. The Fanatics Flag Football Classic in Los Angeles proved the men’s national team can bring it home. They’re undefeated in International Federation of American Football games since 2018, winning by an average score of 50-17. They dominated the games in LA against teams made up of current and former NFL stars, including Tom Brady, Joe Burrow and Jalen Hurts.
