Tom Brady Makes Sensational U-Turn To RETURN To The NFL
Bucs Agree To 3-Year
Tom Brady has come out of retirement less than two months after quitting the NFL.
'These past two months I've realized my place is still on the field and not in the stands,' the champion quar- terback announced on Twit- ter on Sunday.
'That time will come. But it's not now. I love my team- mates, and I love my support- ive family. They make it all possible. I'm coming back for my 23rd season in Tampa. Unfinished business LFG.'
Brady led the Buccaneers to a Super Bowl title follow- ing the 2020 season and NFC South championship last sea- son.
He spent 20 seasons with the New England Patriots, winning six Super Bowl titles before moving to Tampa Bay.
The iconic quarterback, 44, brought the curtain down on a glittering 22-year career when he announced his re- tirement on February 1.
The quarterback stunned the world on Sunday when he confirmed he would be re- joining the Buccaneers for another campaign after 40 days in retirement.
However, his decision

The Tampa Bay Bucca- neers are bringing back an- other familiar face, agreeing to a three-year contract ex- tension with Pro Bowl center Ryan Jensen, per multiple reports.
Jensen’s new deal comes just hours after Tom Brady’s announcement that he will be returning from his brief retirement for another season in Tampa Bay, and will pay the Pro Bowler $39 million over three years.

over his four seasons in Tampa Bay, and now the Bucs keep one of the league’s top players off the free agent market just before the nego- tiation period opens Monday afternoon.
may not be that surprising considering just a week into his 'retirement,' Brady said 'never say never' about play- ing again.
He made the comeback announcement hours after sharing a photo of himself visiting Manchester United's Old Trafford training ground in England, and meeting with the British team's iconic striker Cristiano Ronaldo, himself a veteran sportsman widely-regarded as still being at the top of his game.
The 44-year-old led the NFL in yards passing (5,316), touchdowns (43), comple- tions (485) and attempts (719) in 2021, but the Bucca-
neers lost at home to the Los Angeles Rams in the divi- sional round.
Brady announced his de- cision to return to the Bucs one day before the NFL free agency period begins.
Gisele Shares First Public Reaction To Tom Brady News
TOM BRADY AND GISELE
When Tom Brady an- nounced on Sunday that he de- cided to unretire, many quickly wondered how Gisele felt.
A big reason why Brady retired in the first place was so he could spend more time with his family after prioritizing football throughout his career. His wife and kids were likely looking forward to spending more time with him, but his re- tirement only lasted a month.
So, what does Gisele think of the news that Tom will be playing in 2022 at age 45? She is supporting him, at least pub- licly.
Gisele left a comment on Tom’s Instagram post an- nouncing that he would be playing for the Bucs next sea- son. She was very supportive in the comment.
“Here we go again! Let’s go lovvvey! Let’s go Bucs!” Gisele wrote.

Davante Adams
Reportedly Gives
Packers An Ultimatum
It has widely been as- sumed that Davante Adams will be back with the Green Bay Packers next sea- son now that Aaron Rodgers has committed to the team, but the situation sounds a bit complicated.
The Packers placed the franchise tag on Adams after agreeing to an extension with Rodgers. That will pre- vent the star wide receiver from hitting free agency, but NFL Media reported on Monday that Adams has in- formed the Packers he will not play under the tag.
