Terry Bradshaw couldn’t help but take a playful dig at Tom Brady as the 49-year-old revealed just how close he got to unretiring for a second time.
After the Los Angeles Rams confirmed on Sunday that Aaron Donald would be coming out of retirement for the 2026 season, FOX Sports reshared a clip of Brady discussing his own departure from the league. The former quarterback initially hung up the cleats in February 2022, only to reverse his decision 40 days later before retiring “for good” a year later.
Yet according to Brady, an unnamed team reached out to see if Brady would consider suiting up again. “When I retired the second time, there was a team that reached out,” he said in the video, which was initially filmed last December.

“But I’m not gonna tell you who. I’m gonna leave you guys guessing on that. It was actually a little bit intriguing, but at that time it was pretty certain …”
Before Brady could finish his thought, Bradshaw snuck up behind his FOX Sports colleague and quipped, “He has no idea what he’s talking about.”
Brady took the lighthearted jab in stride, concluding: “I was pretty certain that I was done, done. Not as done, done as him. But I was done.”

Had Brady attempted an unprecedented third comeback, the 15-time Pro Bowler could’ve further distanced himself from Bradshaw in the longstanding “Greatest Of All Time” debate.
During a distinguished 14-year NFL career, Bradshaw passed for 27,989 yards and 212 touchdowns while leading the Steelers to four Super Bowl titles. His commanding performance briefly secured him the "GOAT" designation, until he was overtaken by longtime San Francisco 49ers signal-caller Joe Montana, who equaled his Super Bowl victories.
Long after both Bradshaw and Montana hung up their cleats, Brady has been recognized by many as the greatest of all time. Over his two-decade stint with the New England Patriots, he captured six Super Bowl titles, 17 NFC East championships and three MVP honors.
Success followed him to Tampa Bay, as Brady propelled the Buccaneers to a victory in Super Bowl LV while setting franchise records in single-season passing yards (5,316) and touchdowns (43).
While appearing on 'Jimmy Kimmel Live!' with 'FOX NFL Sunday' co-host Howie Long back in November 2024, Bradshaw was asked to share his perspective on the ongoing GOAT debate. "Isn't it amazing when you think that you and Tom played the same position, right? I mean, you're barely even the same species," Kimmel told Bradshaw.

The 77-year-old brushed aside the verbal jab, maintaining that despite having a completely different personality from Brady, both are experts in their field.
"I am definitely proof that you can have a personality — and be funny, and silly and goofy — yet you can go out on the field and perform at a high level and get things done," he said. "So we both can perform at a high level.
"I always like to say, well he's the GOAT. Well, that's great, but back when I played, I was the GOAT. And then along came [Joe] Montana, and Montana was the GOAT, right? I looked at four Super Bowls, no losses 4-0. Then Montana came along four Super Bowls, no losses 4-0."
Turning his attention to Brady, Bradshaw argued that even though he's won more Super Bowls, they should both be viewed on the same level playing field. "And then Tom the GOAT comes, and he's been in 10 Super Bowls, but he lost three. So seven minus three is four. So four, four, four," he added while counting the number of championships he, Montana and Brady have. "So that's how I look at it."
