While these are just rumors, there is no smoke without fire. Florio published a piece regarding Brady’s future, and he stated that, if the 44-year-old does not join the 49ers (his boyhood team) now, then he likely never will.

With Jimmy Garoppolo’s future with the 49ers elsewhere and Trey Lance an unknown commodity, there is pace gathering that the 44-year-old could return with the NFC team in 2022.

Could Tom Brady return in 2022?

There is always a chance, but Brady himself poured fuel on the fire with his comments on the Let’s Go podcast with Jim Gray. During this past season, the 44-year-old was on the show every Monday.

In his last appearance on the podcast on February 9, the seven-time Super Bowl champ teased about a possible return, and this has sent tongues wagging with speculation he may return next season.

Now, with Florio’s comments, the 44-year-old could have the perfect route back into the league. As Florio writes, both Garoppolo and Lance have question marks hanging over them, and the 49ers were Tom’s first choice when he became a free agent, and they may now have another chance at securing the legendary quarterback.
