Brady hints at return: 'I know I still have more to prove'

The evidence continues to mount that Tom Brady will return to the NFL for the 2020 season.

The New England Patriots star took to Instagram on Wednesday to thank fans, and he included a very encouraging ending to the post.

"You don't always win. You can, however, learn from that failure, pick yourself up with great enthusiasm, and place yourself in the arena again," Brady wrote. "And that's right where you will find me. Because I know I still have more to prove."

Brady has said all along that a return to the NFL is likely. However, which team that will end up being with remains to be seen. The six-time Super Bowl champion is a free agent, and the Patriots can't franchise tag him.
