Tom Brady returning to football competition next year

The Kansas City Chiefs could start the season 0-2 for the first time since 2014 if they lose to the Philadelphia Eagles. Colin Cowherd and Tom Brady discuss how much pressure is on Patrick Mahomes entering Week 2.

Tom Brady is coming out of retirement – sort of.

The seven-time Super Bowl champion will be among current and former NFL players who will compete in a three-team flag football tournament in Saudi Arabia next March.

Brady will join Saquon Barkley, CeeDee Lamb, Christian McCaffrey, Maxx Crosby, Rob Gronkowski and others in the Fanatics Flag Football Classic on March 21 at Kingdom Arena in Riyadh. Pete Carroll, Sean Payton and Kyle Shanahan will be the coaches.

"It's a multi-year commitment," Brady said on Monday. "Obviously, we're getting off to a good start. The first year will be kind of where everyone’s attention and energy is at. It’s the first time we’ve ever done something like this, but all the players that I’ve talked to are excited about playing. 

"Obviously, with the Olympics coming up in 2028, I think it’s all the NFL players' first exposure to it, and I didn’t want to miss out on being a part of it."
