Tom Brady reveals one major reason he won't return to NFL like Philip Rivers

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers weren't the only team to bring a retired player out of the shadows and back into the spotlight of an NFL Sunday.

After the Bucs signed Jason Pierre-Paul, who hadn't played a snap in the league since 2023, the Indianapolis Colts one-upped them by bringing a potential Hall of Fame quarterback out of retirement.

No, it's not Tom Brady but somehow Philip Rivers unretiring to play for the Colts on Sunday is even more surprising. Rivers hasn't taken a snap in the NFL since January 2021, and is making his first start in almost four years after having been signed off his couch less than a week ago.
