Tom Brady will be 45 when the 2022 NFL season begins. Logic dictates that whenever he retires, whether it’s this year or down the road, it will be for good. At that age, it is hard seeing him pull a Brett Favre last minute mind change, or even a Michael Jordan comeback. However, CBS Sports’ Tony Romo thinks that exact scenario is on the table.
During an appearance on CBS Mornings with broadcast partner Jim Nantz, Romo floated an interesting Brady theory: he thinks a loss like the Buccaneers’ just had last weekend is exactly the type of game that could lead Brady to retirement. And he wouldn’t rule out a Jordan-esque comeback two years after—when Brady is in his late-40s.
