Antoine Winfield Jr Believes The Buccaneers Are Still Seeking Tom Brady’s Comeback

Richard Sherman and Antoine Winfield Jr. had a conversation on a number of issues, but Tom Brady’s prospective return to the Buccaneers is the one getting all the attention right now.

Antoine Winfield Jr Believes The Buccaneers Are Still Seeking Tom Brady’s Comeback

However, the click-baiting, headline-chasing media cannot be held responsible for the most recent igniting of this story. This time, one of Brady’s old Tampa Bay Buccaneers colleagues is the one who brought this never-ending subject back to our notice.

Antoine Winfield Jr., a safety with the Buccaneers, said he is “sure” Tampa Bay is still interested in signing the seven-time Super Bowl champion quarterback.

Winfield stated on the Richard Sherman Podcast, “I’m sure we’re still reaching out to him, trying to see if he’s trying to come back to the team.” “Hey, it could happen. Anything’s possible.”

After 23 NFL seasons, Brady, 45, announced his retirement from football in early February.

Though it was said that this time it was “for good,” speculations of a subsequent reappearance have lingered.

Brady played for the Bucs during his final three seasons of his career, leading them to three straight postseason appearances and a Super Bowl victory. After the 2021 season, he declared his retirement from the NFL, but he then changed his mind 40 days later and decided to stay in Tampa for the 2022 campaign.

This time, Brady’s ability to make another comeback looks far less likely. Given how close training camp is, Brady would undoubtedly suffer if he returned to the field after a lengthy absence from practice. In August, he will turn 46; no quarterback has ever started at that age.

It would be an absurd scenario, especially because the Bucs already have more than $35 million in Brady’s dead cap money, regardless of whether he plays or not. Additionally, it is likely that the clearance process would need to be suspended permanently because Brady is seeking to purchase a portion of the Raiders

In spite of being in his mid-40s, Brady showed last season that he still had the skills necessary to succeed as an NFL quarterback.

Brady led the Buccaneers to the NFC South title in 17 games while throwing for 4,694 yards and 25 touchdowns.
