Tom Brady speculation arises over potential NFL return at 50

Summary

Tom Brady remains retired from the NFL as of October 2, 2026. However, biographer Lars Anderson has suggested a possible comeback in 2027, although he emphasizes this notion is speculative. Brady, who turns 50 in August 2027, previously investigated returning to play in March 2026, but insists he is 'very happily retired.' Additional hurdles exist due to his ownership stake in the Las Vegas Raiders, which prohibits him from playing unless he sells the stake. Brady's last appearance was in January 2023 against the Dallas Cowboys.
