It was way back in 2016, that the player last represented any leading side in the NFL. In the past seven years, the career path has gone wayward with political views and statements. The long-lost star now has two choices if he wishes to return to playing NFL during the next season.
He has an XFL opportunity as revealed by the Hollywood action figure- Dwayne Johnson. However, as per the actor, the QB doesn’t seem to be too interested in playing the league. He wrote on X that he created a proposal for the player to invite to the XFL, but there was no action taken as yet.
