Two months. Two months, or 41 days to be exact, is all it took for Brady to realize what many of us have been saying… he is playing at too high a level to walk away now. The soon-to-be 45-year-old posted on Instagram and Twitter today that he and the Bucs had unfinished business.

“These past two months I’ve realized my place is still on the field and not in the stands. That time will come. But it’s not now. I love my teammates, and I love my supportive family. They make it all possible. I’m coming back for my 23rd season in Tampa. Unfinished business LFG.”

The sincerity of Brady’s retirement announcement in March has been consistently questioned and doubted, even by Brady himself. Some felt that he was angling his way out of town but ultimately, it seems as though he just needed enough time to reflect on his future. Or, maybe Gisele decided she like him a tad bit more when he was actually out of the house at times. Whatever the reason, Brady now returns at another shot at his eighth Super Bowl in a watered-down NFC.

Brady led the league with 43 touchdowns and 5,316 yards in what many believed was truly deserving of the league MVP.
