Tom Brady announced his retirement a month ago, but rumors of his return to the NFL are already circulating. During his show on Monday, Rich Eisen shared some of the buzz he heard at the NFL Scouting Combine, including potential returns by Brady and Philip Rivers. However, Eisen cautioned that the rumors should be taken with a grain of salt since people at the combine are often eager to spread speculation. Nonetheless, Eisen stated that he had heard the Brady rumor from multiple sources before delving further into the topic.

During his show, Rich Eisen shared that the most surprising rumor he heard at the NFL Scouting Combine was that Tom Brady may not be done playing football. According to Eisen, a couple of people suggested that everyone should wait before assuming that Brady's retirement is final. Eisen also mentioned that the Miami Dolphins could be a potential destination to keep an eye on, as rumors have linked them to a potential run at Lamar Jackson and a willingness to part ways with Tua Tagovailoa.

Eisen also noted that Brady had pulled a similar move last year when he did not explicitly use the word "retire" in his farewell message to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and the NFL. About a month later, he announced that he would be playing the 2022 season. However, on Feb. 1, 2023, Brady released an emotional video confirming that he was "retiring for good."

In a video message, Tom Brady quickly got to the point and announced that he was retiring for good. Knowing that his retirement process last time was a big deal, he decided to inform his fans by recording the message himself when he woke up in the morning. He expressed his gratitude to everyone who supported him throughout his career, including his family, friends, teammates, and competitors. He mentioned that there were too many people to thank, but he appreciated everyone who allowed him to live his dream. Brady concluded by saying that he wouldn't change a thing.

Tom Brady reiterated his retirement decision on his "Let's Go!" podcast, expressing that he is confident in his choice. Having played football for 23 years, he is proud of his accomplishments and felt that his retirement announcement last week was appropriate. Brady emphasized that he had dedicated over three decades of his life to football and was excited about what the future held. He acknowledged that it's challenging to make decisions like this, but he felt that it was the right time for him to step away from the game.

According to a report by ESPN, Tom Brady has officially filed his retirement paperwork with the NFL and the NFL Players Association. This paperwork signifies that Brady is officially retired from professional football, and the league and the players' association will process his retirement accordingly.
