Bill Simmons, a popular columnist and sports fan from Boston, floated the theory that Tom Brady could potentially return to the New England Patriots in 2023 for one last hurrah.
Brady is in the last year of his contract with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and all options are reportedly on the table for him to play at least one more season in which he would be 46. Simmons appeared on “ManningCast” and said he didn’t think Brady would return for a fourth season with the Buccaneers.

I don’t think he will be in Tampa next year and I’m wondering if there’s a chance he might come back next year — a parting thing “You know how much he means to Bob Kraft. Could this be any way to put a bow on it? Could he be back for one last season?” Simmons wondered.
“She definitely didn’t tell me. Brady isn’t talking to anyone right now. Did you see his team yesterday? “
