Dana White reveals Tom Brady’s response after pestering him to make NFL retirement U-turn to Don Raiders jersey

Tom Brady, arguably the greatest football player in NFL history, retired from the sport last week. Many fans were hoping to see one more season from the 44-year-old. Among these was Brady’s good friend and UFC President Dana White.

White, who was from Boston, is a huge Brady fan. He moved to Las Vegas nearly two decades ago and spends his time in “The Fight Capital of the World.” Therefore, he had tried to convince Brady to play for the Las Vegas Raiders.

He told TMZ, “I was hammering it [Brady] come to Vegas and play for the Raiders.

Although Brady did not respond with a clear “no”, he did, according to White, send an encrypted message. The UFC chief honcho said: “He was like ‘hahaha’, you’re amazing, that’s what he said when I said come to the Raiders”
