The rumor mill was spinning at warp speed at the NFL Combine last weekend after NFL Network host Rich Eisen said he heard Tom Brady might consider a return to the playing field—this time, in a Miami Dolphins uniform.
However, Tom Brady says he has no time to restart his career because he’s too busy helping his daughter raise her two-month-old kitten.
The future Hall of Famer addressed the rumors of his return in a tweet Tuesday afternoon.
Anyone who thinks I have time to come back to the NFL has never adopted a 2 month old kitten for their daughter. https://t.co/Qzf2H4vr1j

The rumor does make sense, though. The Dolphins seem open to a change at the quarterback position. Brady has changed his mind about retirement in the past. He already lives in Florida, so he wouldn’t have to move that far. And, lest we forget, it was Dolphins Owner Stephen Ross who got fined $1.5 million for tampering with Tom Brady and Sean Payton stemming from the Brian Flores’ racial discrimination lawsuit against the league.

So, if he were to go anywhere, it probably would be Miami. But for now, the kitten has his attention.
