The Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Tom Brady is one of the most entertaining athletes when it comes to Twitter conversations.

It was a pretty strange and unexpected challenge put forward by the veteran quarterback.
However, James had a unique response to Brady’s tweet. With his usual swag and humor, he wrote, “Tom Brady me but barely…”

“We could make this happen … you just let us know when.” The team wrote on their official Twitter handle.
For the fans who were asking Brady to acquire this sport after retirement, it seems the wolf is still hungry and isn’t ready to leave the field anytime soon.
Adam Schefter drops an update on Tom Brady and his NFL future
While talking in the latest episode of his podcast, Adam Schefter touched on various aspects of the sport, including Tom Brady’s gig at FOX sports. A few days ago, the seven-time Super Bowl champion signed a $375 Million lucrative deal with the broadcasting company for the role of a lead analyst cum commentator for ten years. However, he can only feature in this new role, once he decides to retire from the NFL.
The NFL insider quashed all the speculations that claim the 2022 season will prove as Tom Brady’s last NFL campaign. “Tom Brady, going into broadcasting. How about that? It reported a 37 and a half million dollar a year contractual figure for Tom Brady. And I was wondering like, hey, this has got to be his last year of playing football, right?” he said.

“If he’s already signed to play with Fox and to be an ambassador with Fox and to broadcast for Fox, then he’s got to be making plans to do that sooner rather than later. I asked a couple [of] people about it.
They told me it would be a mistake to presume that. Now again, Tom Brady’s always talked about wanting to play till he’s 45. He’ll be 45 this season…” Schefter added to his speech.
