And what better way to remain the GOAT and return to the sport he loves, than by helping his country win gold. He knows he would be able to help and excel in that environment and since his life is very much scheduled and has a tight regimen, so many things could fall into place for him around that time. With the Olympics being in LA, he wouldn&#8217;t have to travel far. And it would culminate in one of the best birthdays ever,\u201d an insider revealed to The Daily Mail. This win would be a way for the football player (then 50 years old) to prove he\u2019s the best in the game and demonstrate his commitment to the sport.<\/p>\n<p>NFL owners passed a vote on Tuesday (June 10) which allowed their players to compete in the Olympics three years later.<\/p>\n<p>        <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/story_trending@2x.png\" alt=\"\" title=\"\"\/>            <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hindustantimes.com\" class=\"breadcrumbclick\" data-vars-event-label=\"Home_clicked\" data-vars-event-action=\"\/\" data-vars-event-cta=\"News\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">News<\/a> \/ <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hindustantimes.com\/sports\" class=\"breadcrumbclick\" data-vars-event-label=\"Sports_clicked\" data-vars-event-action=\"https:\/\/www.hindustantimes.com\/sports\" data-vars-event-cta=\"Sports\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Sports<\/a> \/ <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hindustantimes.com\/sports\/us-sports\" class=\"breadcrumbclick\" data-vars-event-label=\"US Sports_clicked\" data-vars-event-action=\"https:\/\/www.hindustantimes.com\/sports\/us-sports\" data-vars-event-cta=\"US Sports\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">US Sports<\/a> \/ Tom Brady set to return to New England for ultimate honor; Patriots make big announcement   <\/p>\n<p> See Less <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Jun 15, 2025 05:27 PM IST Tom Brady&#8217;s bronze statue will be unveiled at Gillette Stadium on August&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":132598,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2050],"tags":[31540,31539,7,18106,1167,249,2326,2094,6,208,12463,1369],"class_list":{"0":"post-132597","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-new-england-patriots","8":"tag-2028-la-olympics","9":"tag-bronze-statue","10":"tag-football","11":"tag-gillette-stadium","12":"tag-new-england","13":"tag-new-england-patriots","14":"tag-newengland","15":"tag-newenglandpatriots","16":"tag-nfl","17":"tag-patriots","18":"tag-super-bowls","19":"tag-tom-brady"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/channels.im\/@nfl\/114689102746533912","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/132597","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=132597"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/132597\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/132598"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=132597"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=132597"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=132597"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
