Julian Edelman had interesting response to question about unretiring

In every joke there’s some truth, so how much was Julian Edelman really messing around when he played an April Fools' prank last month?

The longtime New England Patriots wideout retired following the 2020 season, but there’s always been a hint of curiosity if he would ever pull a Rob Gronkowski – or, now, a Tom Brady – and come out of retirement.

It turned heads, then, when for April Fools' he made a joke that he was coming out of retirement to join Brady on the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

He made clear that it was a joke, reiterating his allegiance to New England in response.
