In a world where football legends never truly retire, rumors often swirl about iconic names like Tom Brady. But if you’re holding your breath for Brady to suit up in Miami, it’s time to exhale. The GOAT is staying retired – at least for now. ESPN’s Adam Schefter shut down the fantasy of a Dolphins-Brady union during “Sunday NFL Countdown” with an emphatic declaration: “That’s not gonna happen.”
Schefter’s comments came as he addressed the ongoing saga of Miami’s quarterback dilemma, triggered by Tua Tagovailoa’s terrifying concussion in last week’s loss to the Buffalo Bills. The injury left the Dolphins’ franchise quarterback sidelined indefinitely, and fans were quick to speculate about a possible Brady comeback. But while fans dream of Brady donning teal and orange, the reality is far from that scenario.
Tua, despite the health scare, has no intention of hanging up his cleats. Schefter revealed that the Dolphins star will meet with neurologists this week to assess his condition, making it clear that retirement is not on the table. Miami remains committed to Tua’s future, but the immediate present? That’s another story.
Tom Brady responds superbly to Ryan Reynolds and Eli Manning
Enter Skylar Thompson, the backup quarterback thrust into the spotlight for Miami’s upcoming matchup against the Seattle Seahawks. Thompson, who started crucial games for the Dolphins last season, now has a chance to prove himself once again. But with Miami’s postseason hopes on shaky ground, whispers of a Hail Marymove for Brady began to echo around the league. Could Brady rescue the Dolphins in their hour of need? Not according to Schefter.
“There’s been a lot of talk about bringing Brady out of retirement,”Schefter stated, before closing the door on the idea. “It’s not happening.” Those five words may have crushed the hopes of Dolphins fans dreaming of the legendary QB making one final heroic run.
Miami’s forbidden dance with Brady: A dream that never was
This isn’t the first time Miami’s flirtation with Brady made headlines. The franchise was hit with a hefty fine and docked draft picks in 2022 after being caught in secret talks to bring Brady and Sean Payton together in Miami. But that chapter is over, and so is the dream of Brady ever leading the Dolphins onto the field.
Brady, now in the broadcast booth for FOX Sports, seems content in his post-football career. Alongside Kevin Burkhardt, he’s mastering the art of commentary. But even if Brady was tempted to lace up his cleats again, there’s a major roadblock in the way – he’s also in the process of buying a minority stake in the Las Vegas Raiders. Any comeback would jeopardize that deal.
For now, the Dolphins will have to rely on Skylar Thompson and newly signed quarterback Tyler Huntley, a former Pro Bowler picked up from the Browns’ practice squad, as they wait for clarity on Tua’s future. The road ahead may be uncertain, but one thing is crystal clear: Tom Bradyis not coming to Miami.
So as the Dolphins look toward Sunday’s showdown, the myth of Brady’s return can finally be put to rest. The only game Tom Brady will be involved in this weekend is calling plays from the broadcast booth.
