Tom Brady thinks about it.
Six weeks after the announcement of his retirement , the football super champion, winner of seven Super Bowl and husband of former supermodel Gisele Bundchen, has announced his return to the NFL. He will start the season with the same team he greeted in early February, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, with whom he was under contract until 2023.
"In the last two months I have realized that my place is still on the pitch, not in the stands. That time will come. But it's not time - wrote Brady, 44, on Twitter - I love my teammates and I love my family. . Without them, none of this is possible. I'll be back for my 23rd season, in Tampa Bay. We have a job to finish. "
Five-time Super Bowl MVP and three regular season MVPs, he has a record of successful touchdown passes (624), yards earned (84,520) and regular season wins (243). Now he will have another season to improve and satisfy his desire: to play until he is 45, the age he will turn in August.
