Neil Reynolds: “He (Brady) turns 45 in August, he always said he wanted to play until he was 45, he’s going to do it and I don’t see any signs of slowing down.” – Listen to Neil Reynolds and Jeff Reinbold on the Inside the Huddle podcast during the off-season.
Sky Sports NFL host Neil Reynolds reflects on Tom Brady’s decision to return to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers for his 23rd NFL season just 44 days after announcing his retirement.
It always seemed to me that he left too soon, and it’s funny to talk about it, he was 44 years old, he played 22 seasons, but, as our American friends like to say, he still had gas in the tank.
He led the NFL last year in passing yards, passing touchdowns, I think he’s as hungry as ever, he’s very driven, so I’m not too surprised.
This is good news for the NFL because he is the biggest star in the sport. That’s good news for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers because they’re facing a big hole in the quarterback, and it’s bad news for those who bought the ball from that touchdown pass to Mike Evans against the Los Angeles Rams (which looked like like it would be the last match of Brady’s career).
This ball was auctioned for $518,000 and sold over the weekend and he’s right with the man, he should spend his money smarter! Be sure to keep your receipt!

Now the Tampa Bay Buccaneers have things to do.
Free agent period, veteran free agent signings, you can start negotiating with new teams from 4pm today (Monday), and the Bucks have over 20 free agents, and I think those players who may have left town, going to make an emergency U-turn, including Ryan Jensen of their center, he signed a three-year contract.
Leonard Furnett, their running back, he actually refused an Instagram goodbye to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Things are changing for the Bucks when Tom Brady returns, but they still have a lot of work to do.
He was still at the top of his game, he never relied on the need to run fast, it was all about mental processing, his strong and accurate hand.
