POLL - Will Tom Brady play next season?
 

Will Brady play in the NFL next season?

Unless he thinks they can compete for championship what is the point?

I heard he is retiring to The Villages to coach Pickle ball at end of season! :icon_wink:

He no longer has the “it’s me or football” thing hanging over his head from Gisele.

He has been talking to Belicheck so hang on to your hats.

Certainly hope not

I would bet that he doesn't play (or even coach) next year, but could easily see him getting a lucrative commentator deal somewhere. I want to believe he's basically a good person/parent and I think spending more time with his kids, will become a bigger priority in the coming years. He's undeniably established himself as the GOAT and even with that still big chip on his shoulder from the draft sitting there - what's left to prove?

He already did:


Brady recently signed a 10-year deal with Fox Sports for $375 million to be a lead NFL analyst on-air, although that won't start until he's finished playing.


NFL 2022: Tom Brady, Fox Sports contract, retirement TV deal, Tampa Bay Buccaneers, how much money does Tom Brady make?

no... he should have stayed retired. Team is not too good this year.

Maybe Fox will reconsider after the FTX fiasco that "laser eyes" Brady was a bigtime shill for.

No he won't. He had to play another year to pay for his divorce lawyer.

The brady affair
 

the simple answer to this question is it depends on the performance of miami qb tua tagovailoa in this years playoffs.
Tb12 had publicly stated to the public and his wife gb that he would play to age 45 and retire. That was the plan that was upset by the ownership of the dolphins who approached tb12 with a lucrative offer of minority team ownership and salary if he switched teams after this season. Before the deal was completed it was exposed by discharged miami coach flores in his lawsuit vs the nfl. This blindsided tb12's wife gb who learned for the first time that her husband had no intention of keeping his commitment, hence the seperation and divorce. To the present, if tua fails say, miserably, nothing can stop tb12 and the dolphins from consummating their original deal. Team ownership was the holy grail tb12 was seeking. It cost him a lot but he was determined not to make john elway's
nearly billion dollar mistake. Time will tell us all if " all that glitters is not gold"

no one should underestimate tb12's desire to put all his nfl records beyond reach. The last thing on earth he wants to see is any of them broken by any player today or in the future, especially during his lifetime. He has never gotten over being drafted in the 6th round # 199.

I think so. No Gisele to go home to. :cryin2:

I think he will. TB is not great this year but even at 5-6 still lead their division, so odds are good that Brady will be in the playoffs yet another time, and if that happens, Brady is still—well—Brady. He still has the skills: he’s ranked 10th in the QB rankings, ahead of some playing with teams flying a lot higher than TB: Kirk Cousins, for example, is ranked 13th, and his team, the Vikings, are flying high at 9-2.

Plus, he’ll undoubtedly command an insane salary if he DOES play in 2023.

Yeah, he’ll be back.

I should care, why?

their respective pre nups on both sides prevented any all out war. It was sort of on automatic pilot.
The children are being home schooled at the family home while gb has bought a nest nearby on the same water to have the children as much as possible. Maybe a reconciliation is not too far fetched the day when he finally retires
hoping the family heals and is stronger than ever

Just an average qb. He wouldn't have lasted 5 years in the 60's and 70's. Wears a skirt and whines

Who cares, does it really matter? He's obviously not any GOAT.

Dunno about that skirt thing but I agree that he wouldn't have lasted as long playing in the 60s and 70s. Numerous rule changes over the years have protected the quarterback. I doubt Brady would have lasted as long as he has, if he had to face the shellacking that people like Y.A. Tittle, Bart Starr, Terry Bradshaw, John Unitas, etc. had to face every week.

I recall a game back in the 70's. The MN Vikings, quarterbacked by Joe Kapp, were playing the (then) Baltimore Colts. Nobody ever accused Kapp of being a finesse player but he did get the job done. Baltimore had a linebacker, Ted ("the mad stork") Hendricks, who was the terror of quarterbacks and running backs across the league. Big, tough and nasty. Not too far into the game Kapp took off on a run directly into the path of the Mad Stork. The distance between them closed rapidly. Kapp put his head down and barreled directly into the midsection of the Stork. Both went down. Kapp got up. The Stork didn't.

Can't see Brady doing that.

Well,..., I would say, because you're reading through this thread instead of moving on!🤣🤣

He should have retired! Ruined his reputation, legacy and marriage! Ego, too big.

The OP here. This was meant to be a voting poll to capture results, just for fun. But somehow the poll “didn’t take”. Oh well.

My opinion, word is that Giselle has more $$$$ than Tom. So alimony$$$ does not come into the topic.
The Bucs are not a top-ten team and even tho they lead the division the top teams would crush them IF they back into the playoffs.
Will TB want to end his career on that?
I don’t believe so. His competitive juices are still boiling. If the Bucs commit to getting strong players for next season and he feels positive about that, He’s back.
He still had that Fox contract in his pocket when he does pack up the cleats.

I’d give it 70/30 that TB12 comes back next year.

Email Tom and ask him .

Rage is a many splendored thing
 

does a bear 🐨?....

this is the psych ops division of fantasy football . The 50's thru 70s' are calling. They want their 18 inch b//w tv set with channel changing by screaming back

No not really. If you took the time to notice you would have seen that I responded to the initial question. Trying to make a point: It is not healthy for people to be so consumed in the lives of others.

Heard he has an ironclad pre nup and divorce is almost complete. Payed the divorce lawyer before he got married. Appears he is really missing the Gronk. Having worst season ever.

After watching him play against the Browns on Sunday I hope he retires. It was not the Tom Brady we were used to. Almost sad.

GB is 42 years old...It was time to trade her for two 21 year olds.

His wife is worth more $$$ than he is...

“Consumed”???? Give us a break. Simply a fun and thought- provoking Thread. Some people…

He will retire. IMHO.
