Robert Kraft makes public case for Tom Brady to retire with Patriots

If Robert Kraft has his way, you'll see Tom Brady back with the New England Patriots in the near future.

Brady's playing days appear to be over after the 45-year-old quarterback announced his NFL retirement -- "for good" this time -- on Wednesday. But Kraft made it explicitly clear Thursday morning he wants Brady to sign a one-day contract with the Patriots to retire as a member of the team that drafted him.

"I'd do it tomorrow," the Patriots owner said during an interview with CNN's Don Lemon and Poppy Harlow.
