The retirement of Tom Brady was no less than a drama as it began in 2022 with the Buccaneers and finally ended in 2023. With the team, the NFL GOAT announced the first one in 2022, yet he changed his mind after 40 days and came back again before the last goodbye.
As, this year in February, the future Hall of Famer bade the NFL world for good, many a one again started speculation on his potential comeback, yet this time the former quarterback remained stuck to his decision. Meanwhile, Brady can come back again and amuse the fans as was previously stated by former NFL player Troy Aikman a month ago.
“I don’t want to speak for Tom, but I wouldn’t rule anything out,” he said. Aikman continued, “I would bet that just nothing is off the table as far as what may occur during the season or what Tom’s role may be. I think he’s done playing, but you just never know,” Aikman said.
However, Troys’ speculation now got a new look after the statement of the Raiders star player Maxx Crosby.
Maxx Crosby drops a bombshell on Brady’s comeback
The NFL community has assumed that Jimmy Garoppolo might not get the ball for the Raiders because many believe it is risky to rely on an aging and injury-prone quarterback. The question of who will succeed Garoppolos in Las Vegas naturally arises at this point, though.
The Raider’s defensive end Crosby speaks candidly about the situation in an interview with Voncast. Although the player expressed his faith in Jimmy’s potential return to the NFL field in good health, he additionally indicated optimism for Bradys’ potential return to the field with the Raiders.
Throughout his 23 NFL seasons, Tom Terrific revealed himself as an icon that every team desires to have and the matter is when with the team the retired NFL player is already tied with, then seeing a ray of hope is not neglecting at all. The 45-year-old is already on the verge of being the Raiders team’s minority owner, yet Maxx thinks it can happen that the former Bucs player will end up being the Raider’s No. 1 quarterback.
“Obviously, we’ve got Jimmy G,” Crosby said. “He’s coming back, he’s gonna be healthy. But you never know what’s gonna happen. Tom Brady is a competitor. … At the absolute worst, if everything doesn’t go the way it’s supposed to and we need him, I would not be surprised if Tom Brady shows up in a Raiders jersey.”
TB12 had collected a pile of a reputation for being always considerate of his team and being flexible as the situation demands as well. So, according to Crosby, cutting off their veteran quarterbacks’ from the roster may lead to taking the spot and relieving the Raiders.
What percent of the Raiders does Tom Brady own?
Soon after removing his name as a player, Brady wrote his name in the league again but this time as a team owner. After acquiring an ownership stake in the WNBA’s Las Vegas Aces, the seven-time Super Bowl champion listed his name as a minority owner of the Las Vegas Raiders.
The main owners Mark and Carol Davis will possess 43% of the stake while 53% of the stake will go under Toms’ reign if the deal is finalized and approved by the NFL authority.
During his timing with the New England Patriots and Tampa Bay Buccaneers, the three-time MVP set himself as an outstanding NFL quarterback with being one of the most successful players in the league, hence achieving him as a starter is surely a win for the Raiders.
