Tom Brady Ends 40-Day Retirement; Will Return to Play for Buccaneers
The seven-time Super Bowl champion has changed his mind about retiring and plans on returning to the gridiron for his 23rd season.
These past two months I’ve realized my place is still on the field and not in the stands. That time will come. But it’s not now. I love my teammates, and I love my supportive family. They make it all possible. I’m coming back for my 23rd season in Tampa. Unfinished business LFG pic.twitter.com/U0yhRKVKVm
