Tom Brady wants to come out of retirement and compete at the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics<\/a>.<\/p>\n That’s according to a source who believes the serial Super Bowl<\/a> winner desperately wants a gold medal to add to his seven championship rings and once again prove he’s the greatest footballer of all time. NFL owners passed a vote on Tuesday allowing players to compete<\/a> at the games in three years.<\/p>\n It has led to some flag football stars issuing warnings to the likes of Patrick Mahomes<\/a>, and Travis Kelce being left with egg on his face over the prospect of winning a gold medal<\/a>. But none of that has deterred Brady<\/a>, it seems, who wants to etch his name into Olympic history.<\/p>\n READ MORE: Shedeur Sanders’ feelings clear on Browns QBs as he makes alarming confidence admission<\/a>READ MORE: Scottie Scheffler puts PGA Tour rivals on notice after Rory McIlroy snubs event<\/a><\/p>\n “He wants a Gold medal. And what better way to remain the GOAT and return to the sport he loves, by helping his country win gold,” a source told the Daily Mail.<\/a><\/p>\n “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’t have to travel far. And it would culminate in one of the best birthdays ever.”<\/p>\n Brady hung up his cleats a little more than two years ago “For good” after initially coming out of retirement and participating in the 2022 season with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.<\/p>\n But should he follow through with his plan, Brady, 47 now, will be 50 at the 2028 Olympics. Since retiring, the New England Patriots legend has become a minority owner in the Las Vegas Raiders and take up a $375 million announcer role at FOX Sports.<\/p>\n It seems, though, the fire still burns bright within Brady to compete and get his hands on a coveted Olympic gold. He’s not the only one, either. Justin Jefferson was awestruck at the possibility of competing at the Olympic Games.<\/p>\n “To be honest, I’m at a loss for words,” the Minnesota Vikings wide receiver said. “To think about the chance of playing in the Olympics and getting a gold medal, it’s a dream.”<\/p>\n READ MORE: Steelers president backs off after Aaron Rodgers’ personal issues come to light<\/a>READ MORE: Travis Hunter knows what’s next with fiancee after criticism of Heisman behavior<\/a><\/p>\n NFL commissioner Roger Goodell was thrilled at the announcement and took it as another chance to mention that football is not just a game played in America.<\/p>\n “It’s an incredible honor for any athlete to represent their country in the Olympics, which is the pinnacle of global sport,” he said.<\/p>\n “I know first-hand that the inclusion of flag football in the Olympics has sparked a tremendous amount of excitement among NFL players interested in the chance to compete for their country on the world stage. We are thrilled that they will now have that chance.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The seven-time Super Bowl winner and New England Patriots legend announced he was retiring ‘for good’ two years…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":74527,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2050],"tags":[7,14276,1167,249,2326,2094,6,8259,208,250,1369],"class_list":{"0":"post-74526","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-new-england-patriots","8":"tag-football","9":"tag-fox-nfl-sunday","10":"tag-new-england","11":"tag-new-england-patriots","12":"tag-newengland","13":"tag-newenglandpatriots","14":"tag-nfl","15":"tag-olympics","16":"tag-patriots","17":"tag-tampa-bay-buccaneers","18":"tag-tom-brady"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/channels.im\/@nfl\/114560769024254835","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/74526","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=74526"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/74526\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/74527"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=74526"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=74526"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=74526"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}![\"Tom](\"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/0_GettyImages-1231033624.jpg\")
