Tom Brady gave a blunt four-word response to rule out a return to the New England Patriots before the legendary quarterback announced his NFL retirement this week.
On Wednesday, Brady announced his retirement from the NFL after 23 seasons. He won seven Super Bowls over an illustrious career that spanned two decades with the New England Patriots - where he won six of his championships - and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
Brady will forever be remembered as a Patriot rather than a Buccaneer as he is more synonymous with that franchise amid the success and longevity. New England owner Robert Kraft is close with the 45-year-old and even urged the icon to sign a one-day deal to ceremonially retire as a member of the team.
