Tom Brady, the legendary quarterback who recently retired from the NFL, made headlines once again on Thursday when he appeared on a new podcast called “DeepCut.” The unique premise of the podcast involves guests being interviewed while receiving haircuts from barber influencer VicBlends.
During the podcast, Brady was asked about the possibility of returning from retirement, specifically to replace a quarterback late in the season for a playoff team. Surprisingly, Brady didn’t rule out the idea and even mentioned that the NFL itself could be the obstacle to his return, as he is currently in the process of trying to buy a chunk of the Las Vegas Raiders.
Drawing a comparison to Michael Jordan’s return to the NBA after a second retirement to play for the Washington Wizards, of which he owned a piece, Brady expressed openness to the idea of making a comeback. He mentioned the Patriots and Raiders as potential landing spots for such a return, while VicBlends suggested the San Francisco 49ers.
The podcast appearance comes a month after Brady posted a video of himself running a 40-yard dash, fueling speculation about a potential return to the NFL. However, it’s worth noting that “DeepCut” is produced by a production company co-founded by Brady and his longtime manager, Ben Rawitz, suggesting that the podcast appearance may be more about promotion than a serious comeback.
Whether Brady is seriously considering a return to the NFL or simply generating buzz for the podcast, one thing is clear – the football icon will never stop hustling, whether it’s for his own ventures or for the teams he once played for.
