It looks like the Minnesota Vikings need to make a phone call.
Their best bet could be to give a retired player a call, given their previous efforts to obtain information about the new class of quarterbacks and the possible obstacles they may encounter in their pursuit of one.
But not any old retired player. Tom Brady, a 15-time Pro Bowler and seven-time Super Bowl champion, should get that call.
Even though Brady claims to be “100%” retired, he has recently considered making a comeback.
Brady stated, “I’m not opposed to it if they would,” in the April 11 episode of the “DeepCuts” podcast. “I’m not sure if I’ll be allowed to take over an NFL team as an owner. However, I’m not sure. I promise to stay in fit and have perfect ball throwing form forever.
To drop in for a brief visit, like to Michael Jordan’s return? I wouldn’t object to anything at all, but I’m not sure whether they would let me.
He would become the oldest quarterback to ever play in the NFL, with Hall of Famer George Blanda. In his final season with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Brady became the oldest quarterback to start an NFL game.
With the Bucs in 2022, Brady completed 66.8% of his passes for 4,694 yards, 25 touchdowns, and nine interceptions.
In terms of touchdowns and interceptions, the season was ordinary.
