Tom Brady officially retired from football on Wednesday morning. This was a massive announcement that completely shook the football world to its core. Of course, this is one of those things that was expected. Overall, Brady had played 23 seasons in the NFL and was 45 years old. Moreover, his play declined this past year, which meant that retirement was probably the best thing to do for his legacy. Either way, Brady will now get to go down as the greatest football player ever.
While Brady retired as a member of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, there is no doubt that he will mainly be remembered for his time with the New England Patriots. The man helped them win a grand total of six Super Bowls in 20 seasons. Overall, this was an insane output that will forever be remembered by fans. Additionally, it will be remembered by none other than Robert Kraft, who was Brady’s biggest fan. The Patriots owner is forever grateful for Brady, and he wants to show that appreciation.
Tom Brady Patriots Reunion?
According to CNN, Kraft has revealed that he will offer Brady a one-day contract so that he can retire as a Patriot. When Brady initially left the Patriots, it didn’t seem to be on the best of terms. However, Kraft seems very eager to get Brady back with the team, if only for one day. “Not only do I want it, our fans are clamoring for it,” Kraft said. “To us, he is always has been and always will be a Patriot. We will do everything in our power to bring him back, have him sign off as a Patriot, and find ways to honor him for many years to come.”
Overall, it will be up to Brady as to whether or not this actually happens. At this point, it seems like more of a shot in the dark than anything else. Regardless, there is no doubt that Patriots fans would love this. Hopefully, Brady at least considers it. It would be a great way for him to go out.
