Tom Brady inquired about NFL comeback as a Raiders owner, but the league 'didn't like the idea'

Tom Brady found Stefon Diggs for a touchdown, followed by a two-point conversion to Rob Gronkowski against Team USA in flag football.

Even though Tom Brady had become a minority owner of the Las Vegas Raiders, the legendary quarterback still inquired about a potential return to the field.

Brady, 48, said the NFL was not a fan of the possibility of Brady coming out of retirement as an owner and playing again.

"I actually have inquired, and they don’t like that idea very much," Brady told CNBC. "We explored a lot of different things, and I’m very happily retired. Let me just say that, too."

"I loved being out there, playing in the flag game. I loved not getting hit. I got a lot of really fun things I’m involved in, and it’s never going to get old throwing passes to incredible athletes on the football field. But, if anything, that game reconfirmed to me that I’m very happy in retirement," Brady said.
