The New England Patriots are set to honor Tom Brady at their home opener against the Philadelphia Eagles in September and there could be more tributes based on a video that dropped this week.
The New England Patriots tweeted a brief clip of Tom Brady on Thursday, with the quarterback asking a simple question.
“Got room for one more?” Brady asked in the video.
That simple line had Patriots fans losng their minds on what it could possbly mean. It seems this is hinting the seven-time Super Bowl champion could pen a ceremonial contract to retire with the organisation.

Brady and the Patriots enjoyed one of the greatest dynasties in any sport, winning six championships in a glorious run in Foxborough. His tenure would end in 2020 when he signed to play with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers for three seasons and lifting his seventh Lombardi Trophy in 2021 before retiring “for good” in February 2023. That announcement came twelve months after his previous retirement before he would come back in just 40 days.
What shouldn’t be taken from this video is that Brady might return to play quarterback. He’s made it clear that he is done with football and spending time with his children.
Brady has agreed a deal to invest in the Las Vegas Raiders and he told Sports Illustrated he has no doubts over his decision to end his career.
He said: “I’m certain I’m not playing again, so I’ve tried to make that clear and I hate to continue to profess that because I’ve already told people that lots of times,” he said. “I’m looking forward to my broadcasting job at Fox next year.
“I’m looking forward to the opportunity ahead with the Raiders and we’re in the process of that along with the other different things that I’m a part of professionally and in my personal life, just spending as much time with my kids as I can and seeing them grow up and support the different things they have going on. That’s a very important job and I take them all pretty seriously.”
Brady was drafted 199th overall in the 2000 NFL draft as an unproven prospect from Michigan, but he went on to become arguably the greatest to ever play the game, with three MVPs, five Super Bowl MVPs and 15 Pro Bowl selections.
