Tom Brady announced his retirement last week, ending a 22-year career that featured seven Super Bowl rings. After dominant runs in both New England and Tampa, UFC president Dana White attempted to get Brady to join a third franchise before hanging up his cleats.
“I was firing texts to [Brady] and he sent very cryptic text messages,” White told TMZ. “He had me thinking he wasn't going to retire. So, you know what I was doing? I was hammering him to come to Vegas and play for the Raiders.”
White previously had pitched Brady on the Raiders in 2020.
