"I love Tom. The door is always open if he wants to come in here and coach. But as far as going on the field, I don't know," Mayo said inMayo said the team's plan is to let the quarterbacks compete and see who emerges as the Day 1 starter, a point he repeated when asked about the possibility of Brady as a player.
"If comes in here, going back to the 'best player will play,' you have to come here and compete. He loves competition. But I doubt he's going to be walking through these doors any time soon," Mayo said.. In May 2023, Brady reached agreement with Raiders owner Mark Davis to join the organization's ownership group, which is still pending NFL approval.
Brady, 46, also has plans to begin work as a sports broadcaster at Fox Sports this summer, which he said he was looking forward to. At one point in the podcast, Brady said:"My career and all that, that's a thing of the past in my mind. I was a gladiator out there, and now my time has moved on. Now it's, 'OK, how can I deliver for my next group of teammates?'"
