Brown doesn't think Brady will remain retired: 'Why would he do that?'

Antonio Brown is among those who believe Tom Brady hasn't entirely closed the door on playing again.

"Why would he do that?" Brown said when asked by TMZ Sports if he thinks his former teammate will remain retired. He added that he could see Brady returning to join "whoever wanna win."

Brown and Brady were teammates on the New England Patriots for a brief period in 2019. They reunited on the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in 2020, winning Super Bowl LV together.

After Brown's release from the Bucs in January, he described Brady as a close friend but also expressed disappointment that the quarterback didn't help him get a better contract.

Brady, who announced his retirement on Feb. 1, seems open to the possibility of returning to the NFL one day. He stated during a recent podcast appearance that he'd "never say never" about a potential comeback, though he said he feels good about his decision to retire.
