Tom Brady was asked on Thursday about the possibility of coming out of retirement to play for the Miami Dolphins. This offseason, Brady retired for the second time in his career.

“I will say now that I’m not affiliated with any team anymore, even though I have strong ties with a couple teams, I do have some friends on the Dolphins that I really like,” Brady said. “So, I wouldn’t say I necessarily root for them all the time, but I root for my friends to do well, and several of them play for Miami.”

The Dolphins have a multi-step plan for acquiring Brady last offseason.

Tua Tagovailoa considered retiring following his 2022 season, in which he endured multiple stints in concussion protocol.

Tagovailoa was ruled out for the season when he suffered another concussion in Week 17.

Tagovailoa also told reporters that he spent time this offseason learning how to properly fall in a way that will protect his head in the future.

Tagovailoa finished 2022 with 3,548 yards, 25 touchdowns and eight interceptions, along with a league-leading 105.5 quarterback rating in 13 starts.

Tyreek Hill has revealed that he plans to retire after the 2025 season during a recent appearance on Sports Radio 810 WHB.
