Tom Brady is “certain” even as others try to create ways for him to get back on the field.

After the future Hall of Famer hung up his jersey “for good” in February 2023, he continues to dominate headlines with speculation that he could be an NFL owner and a player at the same time.

However, Brady confirmed on Thursday that there is no chance of him making a return to the field.

“I’m certain I’m not playing again, so I’ve tried to make that clear and I hate to continue to profess that because I’ve already told people that lots of times — but I’m looking forward to my broadcasting job with Fox next year,” Brady told Sports Illustrated.

The latest theory had the 45-year-old juggling roles as a minority owner and quarterback of the Raiders.

Just last week, Brady agreed to a deal with Raiders owner Mark Davis to purchase a minority share of the Las Vegas team — and shortly after, rumors of a potential return to the field swirled again following the news of Raiders starting quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo undergoing offseason foot surgery.

That led to speculation about whether Brady would actually be able to pull off being an owner and a player.

It was initially reported that all 32 owners would have to agree to a stipulation that would allow Brady to play for a team he also owns.

But as confirmed by the league, Brady would need 24 votes to be an owner — and then 24 separate votes to be a player.

“Any ownership transaction, such as an individual purchasing a limited partnership, would need an affirmative vote of 3/4ths of the teams (24 of 32),” the NFL said in a statement to Pro Football Talk.

“The 32 clubs would have to consider a limited partner playing in the league and take a vote that would need 3/4th approval for him or her to be permitted to play.”

At least for now, the rules seem moot after Brady’s latest proclamation.

The seven-time Super Bowl champ confirmed on Thursday that he will not come out of retirement for a second time for a 24th NFL season.

“I’m looking forward to the opportunity ahead with the Raiders and we’re in the process of that, along with the other different things that I’m a part of professionally and in my personal life — just spending as much time with my kids as I can, and seeing them grow up and support the different things that they have going on and that’s a very important job and I take them all pretty seriously,” Brady said.

There is a reason why people are doubtful of Brady’s retirement word.

Brady, who will turn 46 in August, retired in February 2022, only to announce his return to the NFL a month later for a 23rd season.

After agreeing to a $375 million contract with Fox Sports in 2022 to be a game analyst, Brady announced in February of this year that he’ll join the network in 2024.

Prior to Brady’s comments Thursday, PFT reported that one person familiar with the former quarterback said while he is done playing, he likes the ongoing uncertainty as to whether he’ll play. 

If Brady were to pull off juggling both jobs, it is believed that he would be the first to do so in a pro league.

Cowboys legend Troy Aikman doesn’t appear to be buying what Brady is selling.

“I don’t want speak for Tom, but I wouldn’t rule anything out,” Aikman told TMZ Sports on Tuesday. 

“I would bet that just nothing is off the table, as far as what may occur during the season or what Tom’s role may be.”
