Tom Brady won't rule out late-season comeback, mentions Raiders image

Future Hall of Famer and former NFL quarterback Tom Brady retired after the 2022 season, but he recently admitted he wouldn't rule out to a late-season comeback — and he mentioned the Las Vegas Raiders when talking about it.

Brady was a guest on "The Savage Boston podcast" and was asked if he would consider coming back to a contending team that lost its signal-caller due to injury. Not only did Brady say he wouldn't rule it out, he listed Las Vegas as one of the teams he might consider coming back for, along with the New England Patriots.

Brady went on to say that he's not sure if he'd even be allowed to do such a thing, considering he might have an ownership stake in the Raiders at some point down the road, but he left the door open for it, nonetheless.

The Raiders have a good enough roster to contend for a playoff spot in the AFC in 2024 but they have a question mark at quarterback. Aidan O'Connell and Gardner Minshew are set to battle it out for the starting job, and while both could be enough to get the Raiders by, neither is considered a true difference-maker at the position.

What a 46-year-old Brady would still have left in the tank remains to be seen, but his return to the NFL is no doubt an interesting scenario to think about.
