Tom Brady Ends Retirement, Returns to Tampa Bay Buccaneers
Tom Brady is coming back. On Sunday the 44-year-old announced he was ending his two-month retirement and returning to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers for the 2022 season.
Brady took to Twitter to announce a return to action for his 23rd NFL season.
These past two months I’ve realized my place is still on the field and not in the stands. That time will come. But it’s not now. I love my teammates, and I love my supportive family. They make it all possible. I’m coming back for my 23rd season in Tampa. Unfinished business LFG pic.twitter.com/U0yhRKVKVm

After an oustanding 2021 season, Brady announced his retirement. Many wondered if he was actually going to hang 'em up for good. After all, he led the NFL in passing yards (5,316) and passing touchdowns (43), while finishing second in QBR (68.1), while posting a passer rating of 102.1 and completing 67.5 percent of his passes.
The Buccaneers went 13-4 in 2021 and have a clear path to another NFC South title in 2022 thanks to the division being incredibly weak right now. Frankly, it makes sense Brady would want to come back for another shot at a title.
Brady is a three-time MVP, a 15-time Pro Bowler and a seven-time Super Bowl champion. He could add to all of those numbers in 2022.
