Tom Brady on comeback: NFL didn’t ‘like that idea very much’

Tom Brady toyed with the idea of a potential comeback, going so far as to ask the NFL if it were permissible for a minority owner of a team to play in a league game.

Per NFL rules, a player can't also be an owner.

"I actually have inquired, and they don't like that idea very much," Brady told CNBC. "We explored a lot of different things, and I'm very happily retired. Let me just say that, too."

Brady, who turns 49 in August, last played in an NFL game in 2022 before announcing his retirement for the second time.
