Tom Brady, the 48-year-old minority owner of the Las Vegas Raiders, recently checked with the NFL about rules on returning to play. League officials quickly reminded him that no one can be both a player and an owner at the same time. Brady confirmed he looked into the possibility, but got a clear no from the league. He explored a few options early on, though nothing came of it. Fans and football fans alike buzzed about the idea of another Brady comeback, given his legendary career. But Brady himself shut it down, stressing how content he is in retirement now. Last weekend, he played some flat football, which only strengthened his decision to stay off the pro field. That casual game reminded him why he's done with competitive play. These last NFL action came in 2022, when the then 45-year-old threw for nearly 4,700 yards
