“At that point, I decided to talk with my family and I said, ‘I think I wanna do this one more time if you guys will support that,'” the seven-time Super Bowl winner—who played 20 seasons for the Patriots before concluding his career with three seasons for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers—told Complex in April 2022. “And my wife was so supportive of it and she said, ‘Look, I want you to be happy. I want you to enjoy it and go out there and win.'”
Tom—who divorced Gisele in October 2022—added, “Ultimately, that’s why I came back, to win. There’s only one reason to play for me at this point in my career. And that’s to win.”
However, it doesn’t seem the pro athlete is interested in putting the uniform this time around, as he’s been fully embracing his “strategic advisory role” for the Raiders.
“My phone call is always available to everybody who needs it,” he told CNBC. “I want to see everyone succeed, be their best, bring a winning kind of a culture to Las Vegas—to bring the Raiders back to glory. I’d love to be a part of it.”
