Last night, New England Patriots quarterback and Super Bowl LI MVP Tom Brady did what many thought was impossible: he became the greatest NFL player of all time. The comeback win against the Atlanta Falcons closed out a storybook season for Tom, who is now without question one of the most recognized athletes in American sports history.
Tom Brady might be doing a Michael Jordan, analyst Tony Romo predicts. It is said that Brady will retire at the end of this season and try to win more Super Bowls before he does so.
Tom Brady, quarterback of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, had said that he would decide whether or not to retire on a day-by-day basis. The 44-year-old quarterback also said that his family would play a significant role in his choice to continue playing or retire after a 22-year NFL career. While Brady mulls his next move, Tony Romo, a former Dallas Cowboys quarterback and current CBS football pundit, has a bold prediction for the seven-time Super Bowl champion’s future. During a preview of the AFC Championship Game with NFL broadcast partner Jim Nantz, Romo addressed Brady’s retirement rumors.
During the broadcast, Romo speculated that Brady may retire and do a Michael Jordan-style comeback, cutting his retirement short and returning to the NFL. “I believe there’s a possibility Tom Brady retires and comes back in two years,” Romo said. While he concedes his forecast is ridiculous, Romo compares Brady to a bionic guy. Brady isn’t ailing, according to Romo, and he’s still playing well, so he could only need to rest for two years before returning, like Jordan did.
Brady is expected to retire soon, according to Romo.
Jordan announced his retirement from the NBA and attempted to play Major League Baseball in 1993 after winning three consecutive NBA championships with the Chicago Bulls. However, he did not make it to the Major Leagues, so he returned to the Bulls after an 18-month sabbatical and led them to three NBA championships in a row.
“This is sort of how I believe he’d retire, just knowing him a little bit,” Romo remarked, adding that Brady is more likely to retire after a defeat. After falling to the Los Angeles Rams in the NFC Divisional Round, the Buccaneers’ bid for a second consecutive Super Bowl triumph came to an end. Buccaneers supporters have already pleaded with Brady’s wife, supermodel Gisele Bundchen, to extend the quarterback’s contract and let him to compete for an eighth Super Bowl ring.

After signing an extension with the Buccaneers last summer, Brady still has one year remaining on his deal.
Several key Buccaneers players are ready to become unrestricted free agents.
The Buccaneers were able to sign all 22 starters from their Super Bowl-winning team last season. However, bringing all of their key players who are about to become free agents for another Super Bowl run would be difficult.
Some of the Buccaneers’ major players on both sides of the ball are expected to reach the free market, according to Luke Easterling of USA Today.
