Tom Brady comeback rumors spark up at NFL Scouting Combine after ‘retiring for good’
Tom Brady has been retired “for good” for a little over a month, and rumors of the NFL legend changing course and returning to the field of play are also back.
Rich Eisen on Monday brought up some of the buzz he heard at the NFL Scouting Combine on his show as he counted down the top rumors, including the possible return of Brady and Philip Rivers. Eisen warned that people are “so eager” to talk at the house and spread rumors.
He said he had heard the Brady rumor from “several people” before getting into what he was talking about.

“No. 1 rumor I heard on the combine, not in terms of much chatter, but this one just blew my mind, Tom Brady may not be done yet,” said Eisen. “There were a few people who said ‘hold on, wait and see’.”
Eisen added that one of the places that told him to keep an eye is the Miami Dolphins. Rumors surrounding Miami recently stated that the team could be willing to part ways with Tua Tagovailoa, initially linking them to a possible run on Lamar Jackson.
“Keep that in mind, I was told by a few birdies,” Eisen added.
Brady did this last year too.
He wrote a lengthy farewell message to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and the NFL on February 1, 2022, but did not explicitly use the word retire and just over a month later announced that he would change course and play the 2022 season. .
On February 1, 2023, Brady released an emotional video saying he was “retired for good”.

“Good morning guys. I’ll get straight to the point,” he said in the video. “I’m retiring for good. I know the process was pretty big last time. So when I woke up this morning I thought, I’ll just hit record and let you guys know first. I won’t be. You only get one super emotional retirement essay and i used up mine last year.

“I want to say a big thank you to everyone for supporting me. My family, my friends, my teammates, my competitors…I could go on forever. There are too many. Thanks guys for making my absolute dream come true.
“I wouldn’t change a thing.”

“I think, for me, I know in my heart how I feel. I’ve put it on the pitch for 23 years and I’m super proud of what’s been achieved. You know, I wanted to keep last week really short and sweet, and I felt like I gave a lot, I gained a lot,” said Brady.
Brady added that he is excited about what the future holds after dedicating more than three decades of his life to football.
“I’ve learned a lot. And life is about, you know, exciting things ahead. I think when one thing closes, like football for me, know 32 years of my life, and it’s hard to make decisions like that to take.” But it’s definitely the right time.”
