Romo thinks Brady could retire, then return: 'He's like a bionic man'

Former Dallas Cowboys quarterback and current NFL analyst Tony Romo doesn't think we've seen the last of Tom Brady in the league.

Romo offered an interesting theory on Brady's future Friday on "CBS Mornings," suggesting the Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback could retire and return two years later - like Michael Jordan did in the NBA.

"I think sneakily, there's a chance Tom Brady retires and, I'm just saying, could come back in two years," Romo said. "This is just crazy, but he's like a bionic man ... he's not hurt, he's still playing great. He may need to refresh like Jordan and go two years away and maybe start another challenge."

While some might expect Brady to walk away once he wins another Super Bowl, Romo thinks losing could push him into retirement.

"I think that's when he goes away - is when he loses," Romo said. "Just because it's actually like, 'Okay, when I win it, I want to see if I can be the first one to win three in a row.' There's always this other thing. Once you don't have that ability - which I think is getting close here - I think this is how he walks away."

Brady said after the Bucs' playoff exit that he's taking his time to decide his future and that his family will be a key factor in his choice.
