Retirement is not important. It's not hard to imagine that when Tom Brady and his former New England Pats teammate, Julian Edelman, trained together again, they both agreed that it was time for Brady to return to his former place.
In a video posted to Brady's account Monday, the seven-time Super Bowl champion can be seen tossing the rock to a familiar (and currently retired) target.
The edited video of the duo was captioned, "How's the knee look?", and was retweeted by Edelman, who played all 12 of his NFL seasons with the Pats before calling it a career in 2021.

Two people with New England ties replied to the tweet.
Rob asked his former teammate a million dollar question.
Is @Edelman11 making a comeback?? I sure hope so!! https://t.co/FSuUhWltIV

Matthew Judon was more concerned with making sure the integrity of the motto remained intact.

It's not clear whether he returns to football. If he doesn't join Brady and Gronk in the Bay, there will be people in New England willing to lend him a knee.
