Seven-time Super Bowl Champion Tom Brady is not quite done playing football. Brady walked away from an incredible NFL playing career straight into two jobs – television broadcasting and team ownership.

Just recently, he showed he still has some skills, as he demonstrated during a flag football competition. The seven-time Super Bowl champion became the face of the Fanatics Flag Football Classic. Despite his celebrity status and others’, attendance was poor for the event.

One place where fans always show up is in a football stadium. It appears that Brady might want to experience that once again.

Raiders minority owner Tom Brady has been entangled in comeback rumors since he hung up his cleats a few years ago. Those rumors were only amplified after his performance in the Fanatics Flag Football Classic.

Brady told CNBC he has spoken with the league about the possibility of coming out of retirement. However, per Brady, the league wasn’t very receptive to that idea, since he wants to remain Las Vegas’ minority owner. Because of that, he won’t be making another return to the field.

“I actually have inquired, and they don’t like that idea very much,” Brady said, via CNBC Sport. “We explored a lot of different things, and I’m very happily retired. Let me just say that, too.”
