Tom Brady still hasn’t made up his mind about playing quarterback in the NFL.
Brady joins the podcast “DeepCuts” In a conversation with Big Blend, he was asked if he would “answer the call” if the starting quarterback went down with an injury this season.
“I’m not against it,” Brady said with a laugh.
He noted that there would be hurdles if the acquisition of a minority stake in the Raiders were ultimately approved.
“If I owned an NFL team, I don’t know if they would let me,” Brady said.
“But I don’t know…I’m always in good shape, I’m always able to throw the ball. So if I participate a little bit, like MJ comes back, I don’t know if they’ll let me, but , I wouldn’t object to that.”
Brady will join Fox Sports’ No. 1 announce team this season, along with Kevin Burkhardt.
Former Postmedia columnist Andrew Marchand previously reported that Fox had signed Brady to a 10-year contract worth a total of $375 million.
In another part of the podcast, Brady said his playing career is “behind” him and that he is trying to contribute to his next teammates, including the people at Fox. How can I wake up every day and do my best for them? ”
Brady took a gap year last season after retiring from a 23-season NFL career that included seven Super Bowl wins.
In late 2023, Brady revealed that he intended to retire by last season.
“The only downside to 2023 was when I was retiring in May and my friends threw me a surprise retirement party. I kind of pushed myself.” Brady wrote in an Instagram post.
Brady originally retired in 2022, but his retirement lasted just 40 days before he returned to the Buccaneers.
If Brady continues to retire, he will be eligible for induction into the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 2028.
