Earlier this year, superstar quarterback Tom Brady announced his retirement from the NFL. But given that the seven-time Super Bowl champion has previously come out of retirement once, not everybody necessarily believes that he will stay retired this time, either. And that speculation heated up again this week.
While speaking eMerge Americas on Thursday at the Miami Beach Convention Center, Tom Brady was asked a very direct question about potentially coming out of retirement and joining the Miami Dolphins: “Is there any chance you’re coming out of retirement and playing for the Fins?”
But Brady certainly did not give a direct or simple answer – or answer the question at all.

“I will say now that I’m not affiliated with any team anymore, even though I have strong ties with a couple teams, I do have some friends on the Dolphins that I really like,” Brady said. “So, I wouldn’t say I necessarily root for them all the time, but I root for my friends to do well, and several of them play for Miami.”

Interesting answer from Brady today. Obviously, only an option if Tua (God forbid) has season ending injury https://t.co/hBFZRVB41a

Brady knows exactly what he's doing every time he refuses to simply say "no" to the unretirement question https://t.co/nJxJIvO3YZ

Tom Brady on coming out of retirement:
“I have ties to a lot of teams…”
Meaning he’s beaten all of them.

This is certainly an interesting development. We’ll have to see how it all plays out.
