Fans convinced Tom Brady WILL unretire and re-sign for the New England Patriots – but there’s a catch
NFL legend Tom Brady has hinted at a return to Foxboro.
Almost four months after he announced his retirement from the NFL for a second time, the 45-year-old has hinted at another comeback - of sorts.
In a two-second-long video on the New England Patriots Twitter, captioned "He’s retired…remember?" Brady simply asks: "You got room for one more?"
Patriots fans were swift to respond, with one such fan commenting: "Don’t play with my heart please"
Another asked: "ONE LAST DANCE ?"
As one responded: "One day contract coming up?"

Brady signing a one-day deal would mark a fitting end to a remarkable NFL career, which saw him win seven Super Bowls - six of which came during his two decades in New England.
Rumors surrounding Brady's future and a second potential retirement U-turn have been circulating ever since he stepped away from the game in February.
The three-time NFL MVP, however, recently clarified his stance yet again in an Instagram video in which he said: "I'm certain I'm not playing again.
"I've tried to make that clear and I hate to continue to profess that.

"I've already told people that lots of times but I'm looking forward to my broadcasting job at Fox next year."
Brady's broadcasting deal is set to earn him around $375million over a ten-year period - more than he earned in 23 NFL seasons as a player.
But while he has another year until he's set to enter the broadcasting booth, there's still plenty to keep the father of three busy.
His family recently grew with the addition of another kitten, a tiny Siamese-mix, whom he recently photographed together with his son Benjamin, 13.
This four-legged friend joins another who his daughter Vivian, 10, convinced him to adopt earlier this year.
"Anyone who thinks I have time to come back to the NFL has never adopted a two month old kitten for their daughter," Brady tweeted in March - further pouring cold water on unretirement suggestions.
