"Tom has had some time for his body to heal, for him to see what the football 'afterlife' is going to look like and he doesn't like it. In fact, his U-turn comes following one of the most productive seasons of his career, across which he threw for a league-high 5,316 yards alongside 43 touchdowns. The oft-reminded aim of playing at the age of 45 was feasible. We are ecstatic that he decided to continue playing and working toward winning another championship." "As Tom said, his place right now is on the football field. "Tom is the greatest quarterback of all time who is still playing at an elite level.
Just six weeks after hanging up his boots, seven-time Super Bowl winning quarterback Tom Brady is back.
“As Tom said, his place right now is on the football field,” Arians said. At the start of the 2001 campaign Brady was a then-unknown backup but took over the starting role in the second game of the season after starter Drew Bledsoe went down with an injury and he never relinquished the role. The 44-year-old Brady spent 20 seasons with the New England Patriots, winning six Super Bowls before moving to Tampa Bay and leading the Bucs to a championship in his first season with the team. I love my teammates, and I love my supportive family. “They make it all possible. I’m coming back for my 23rd season in Tampa. Unfinished business LFG.” Shortly after Brady made his announcement the Buccaneers reacted with their own message on Twitter: “He’s baaackkkk,” the team said with a video of the quarterback taking the field.

Quarterback believes he still has plenty to offer. Let's hope, for his sake and pride, he's right.
Brady had given us the perfect sports ending, it seemed, but it wasn’t enough for him. Brady – probably correctly – believes he has more left in the tank and he’s not yet ready to give up the only professional career he’s ever known. When given the chance, hyper-competitive superstar athletes stay in their sport for as long as their bodies can hold up and teams are willing to pay them. So, it was on a random Sunday night in March – during the hours normally set aside in the US for college basketball discussion – that Tom Brady announced he is returning to the NFL. He had barely left the stage before coming back for his encore and if he’s hoping for one of those retirement tours like MLB gave New York Yankees closer Mariano Rivera, he may be overestimating the sentimentality of opposing teams and fans alike. For all the excitement regarding Brady’s return, there is also a feeling of weariness, echoing that old line: “how can we miss you when you won’t go away?”
The Buccaneers have Tom Brady back. Check that box off the Super Bowl list. But now they need to re-up his protection on the offensive line.
The rightful MVP from the 2021 season didn’t last long in free agency, and none of us will complain about that. The Buccaneers may be tight on cap space, but even they know how important keeping Brady’s jersey clean is. The Buccaneers are back in business as legitimate Super Bowl contenders.
