The rumor that Tom Brady may come out of retirement to play for the Miami Dolphins just won’t go away. Now one New England Patriots broadcaster is buying in.
Appearing on NBC Sports Boston, Patriots broadcaster Scott Zolak asserted that Brady to the Dolphins is “100-percent in play.” He said that under the right circumstances, Brady could easily make the move to Miami and is doubtful that Brady even wants to be a broadcaster in the first place.
“Brady may go to Miami. I think that’s in play. I do. I think the possibility of him coming out of retirement is definitely 100-percent in play,” Zolak said, via NBC Sports. “You can sit there and look at the kitten tweet from yesterday. Don’t buy that.”
“This isn’t me saying it. This isn’t someone close to Brady. It started with Rich Eisen. Eisen’s at the Super Bowl. Multiple people dropped the hints. Colin Cowherd, he knows some Fox people. I don’t think he’s gonna call games. How does that deal get done? How do you sign a guy to that $375 million, 10-year contract to call games, he’s not even gonna do it next year. I know his handlers have moved to Miami. It’s built for him. He’s looking at private schools for his kids. Cowherd talks about the San Francisco offense. He’s not talking about San Francisco. He’s talking about Mike McDaniel in Miami.”
One would think that Dolphins fans would be over the moon by this report. But most are getting tired of it and specifically of ProFootballTalk’s Mike Florio continuously spreading the rumor:
It’s a documented fact that the Miami Dolphins attempted to bring Brady into the fold while he was with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. They paid for their interference with a first-round draft pick.
Maybe the Dolphins will try again in the near future. They can’t lose anything for trying this time.
