New England Patriots owner Robert Kraft is hoping that Tom Brady will spend his final days in football as a member of their teamâeven if itâs just for one day. The seven-time Super Bowl champ, who was beloved by Patriots fans, was offered a single-day contract by Kraft so he could be briefly employed again by the Patriots, then officially retire as a Patriot. âIâd do it tomorrow,â Kraft said on Thursday in an interview with CNN. âNot only do I want it, our fans are clamoring for it. To us, he always has been and always will be a Patriot, and we will be bringing him back.â Brady, who began his career as a benchwarmer for the Boston-based team, spent 20 seasons with the Patriots before a failed contract negotiation stressed the relationship, sending Brady to the Tampa Bay Bucs instead. âI don't want to make a commitment for him, but we will do everything in our power to bring him back... he's a beloved figure and he's earned the respect and love that people feel for him like no other athlete in our town, and we've had some great ones,â Kraft added.
