10 Retired NFL Players That Could Ball Out Right Now If They Came Out of Retirement

Mandatory Credit: Raj Mehta-USA TODAY Sports Numerous active players compete in the NFL, from guys who are locks for the Pro Football Hall of Fame to Pro Bowlers, Pro Bowl-caliber talent, and guys who are trying to make a name for themselves in the league. However, due to numerous injuries and certain NFL players struggling in recent years, we reflect on the guys who became Hall of Fame Icons from yesteryear and wonder whether they could still play today. The Colts convinced Phillip Rivers to briefly come out of retirement at 44 and help them out in the final stretch of the 2025 season, and he performed okay in today’s NFL. We’ve also seen other guys return to action on the field, like Eric Weddle, Jason Witten, and Darren Waller, who came out of retirement once and helped their respective teams out, and showed some effort during the second time around on the field.  There are quite a few guys who could come out of retirement and dominate in today’s NFL, as we’ll go over here at TPS. Without further ado, here are 10 retired NFL Players That Could Ball Out Right Now If They Came Out of Retirement. Can these former players still play in today’s NFL? Tom BradyTom Brady (Mark J. Rebilas-Imagn Images) Tom Brady, aka the “GOAT,” looks like a guy who can potentially come out of retirement right now and create a positive impact. He came out of retirement once in 2022 and played one season with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, helping them win the NFC South and reach the Wildcard Round of the playoffs before losing to Dak Prescott and the Dallas Cowboys. Sure, he’s 47, but if he were to somehow come out of retirement, he would help teams like the Arizona Cardinals or make a return to the Buccaneers and make things more competitive. Plus, he would continue to make NFL history and achieve feats that no other quarterback who steps foot in the league will ever break moving forward.  Brady did consider a comeback, but his minority ownership of the Las Vegas Raiders prevents him from doing so. On top of that, Brady is happily retired and also in the FOX NFL Sunday broadcast booth.  Just the thought of seeing TB12 returning to play would be a huge deal for the league, as ratings would increase, and stadiums would sell out just to see him play one more time. Not to mention, he would bring his winning ways to any team he suits up for, guaranteeing that team a spot in the playoffs. Rob GronkowskiOct 18, 2020; Tampa, Florida, USA; Tampa Bay Buccaneers tight end Rob Gronkowski (87) runs with the ball against the Green Bay Packers during the second quarter of a NFL game at Raymond James Stadium. Mandatory Credit: Kim Klement-USA TODAY Sports Similar to Tom Brady, Gronkowski was fun and exciting to watch during his heyday with the New England Patriots and Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Although Gronk is happy to be retired, it would be a treat to enjoy seeing him spike the ball in the end zone during a regular-season game again and dominate opposing defenses.  Gronk has joked about coming out of retirement in the past, but says he plans to stay retired. Well, except for playing flag football.  Like TB12, Gronk came out of retirement once, which led to his trade from the Patriots to the Buccaneers in 2020, reuniting him with the latter.  The only downside is that Gronk has dealt with injuries throughout his career, and the league is only getting more intense. And even if Gronkowski did come out of retirement, he would pass a physical with flying colors and make it on an NFL roster with ease and contribute on offense. If Gronk did come out of retirement, he would immediately be a great contributor on offense and incredibly challenging to tackle, thanks to his athletic build and strength.  Aaron DonaldDec 10, 2023; Baltimore, Maryland, USA; Los Angeles Rams defensive tackle Aaron Donald (99) before the game against the Baltimore Ravens at M&T Bank Stadium. Mandatory Credit: Tommy Gilligan-USA TODAY Sports Seeing Donald coming out of retirement would be a treat, as the former NFL player was a dominant force for the Rams from their final years in St. Louis to relocating to Los Angeles for his entire career. Donald would still strike fear into opposing offenses, make the current NFL’s defense more competitive in key games, and motivate the young guys to strive for much more.  Seeing him paired up with Jared Verse and Byron Young would be very exciting to see, as it would add a fierce level of explosiveness to the Rams’ pass-rush and a potentially easy pathway to the Super Bowl. Another couple of teams who would love Donald’s services include the Denver Broncos, Seattle Seahawks, and Philadelphia Eagles, who each have very talented defenses that would benefit from having Donald on their respective teams. Donald has stated that he’s happy with his 10-year career in the NFL and is burnt out from training camp, but he’ll be 35 by the start of the 2026 season, and could have room in the tank for one more season if he really wanted to come out of retirement.  If he did come out of retirement, it would be incredibly entertaining to see him sack the current crop of quarterbacks in the league and prevent opposing running backs from making explosive plays on offense.  Calvin JohnsonDec 27, 2015; Detroit, MI, USA; Detroit Lions wide receiver Calvin Johnson (81) and running back Ameer Abdullah (21) get ready for a play during the first quarter against the San Francisco 49ers at Ford Field. Mandatory Credit: Raj Mehta-USA TODAY Sports Johnson’s playing career was magnificent to watch, as he kept the Lions afloat in every game he played in from his rookie season in 2007 until his final season in 2015. Even though Johnson was burned out after his final season in 2015, he looks like he can still play and cook opposing secondaries. If he were to come back, he would have to pass a physical, but he wouldn’t play for the Lions, as he would want to play for a championship contender.  Put Calvin “Megatron” Johnson on a team like the Kansas City Chiefs, and the Chiefs’ passing attack would be one heck of a show to watch with Patrick Mahomes throwing the ball to Johnson every game. Especially when scoring touchdowns in Arrowhead Stadium in front of the home crowd.  On top of that, Johnson broke numerous records during his time in the NFL, like in 2012 when he broke the record for most receiving yards in a season with 1,964. He would very likely break more records with a championship contender and potentially win a Super Bowl to finish the season off in the best way possible. Seeing Megatron dominate in today’s NFL would be incredibly exciting to watch in the year 2026 and beyond if he chose to come out of retirement.  Marshawn LynchOctober 24, 2010, Seattle, WA, USA; Seattle Seahawks running back Marshawn Lynch (24) during pregame warmups against the Arizona Cardinals at Qwest Field. Mandatory Credit: Joe Nicholson-USA TODAY Sports Lynch came out of retirement once and suited up for the Raiders when they were in Oakland from 2017 to 2018, and the Seattle Seahawks in 2019. It would be incredibly exciting to see Lynch come out of retirement. He would have to join a championship contender, like the current Seahawks, who would be in service for a new running back since Super Bowl LX MVP Kenneth Walker III signed a three-year deal with the Kansas City Chiefs.  Sure, Lynch will be 40 years old when the 2026 season kicks off, but the Seahawks have the team that would help Lynch earn that second Super Bowl championship, and we would be watching every second of it.  Lynch would also be an upgrade over Cam Akers and Zach Charbonnet when going up against opposing defenses on the ground.  Lynch’s agility, ability to push defenders off of him as a player, and versatility would be enticing to watch in the current state of the NFL. Other teams that would benefit from Lynch’s services include the New England Patriots and Los Angeles Rams, who would be more than happy to make things work for “Beast Mode” if he chose to come out of retirement and lace up the cleats one more time. J. J. WattAugust 20, 2011; Houston, TX, USA; Houston Texans defensive end J.J. Watt (99) before a game against the New Orleans Saints at Reliant Stadium. Mandatory Credit: Troy Taormina-USA TODAY Sports Just like Aaron Donald, Watt dominated opposing defenses in his prime with the Houston Texans and Arizona Cardinals and walked away from the game to prioritize his family and health. Although Watt is currently 37, he has the strength to come out of retirement and join a championship contender like the Seattle Seahawks, Denver Broncos, New England Patriots, Los Angeles Rams, and Buffalo Bills, who have rosters built around reaching and potentially winning the next Super Bowl.  Seeing Watt paired up with the current defenders like Jared Verse, Ed Oliver, and Byron Young would be spectacular for football fans to tune in every week. Another team that would love J. J. Watt’s services would be the Pittsburgh Steelers, where he would reunite with his brother, T. J. Watt, and dominate on the team’s defense. Plus, it would be a treat to have two different NFL Defensive Players of the Year award winners on the same roster.  If anyone could come out of retirement and return to form on defense, Watt would have no problem doing so. Julian EdelmanPatriots receiver Julian Edelman dives into the end zone past Bills defender Aaron Williams for a 22 yard touchdown. Williams was injured on the play and left the game on a stretcher. The Patriots be a the Bills 40-32. Edelman may not be a Pro Bowler like everyone else on this list, but we do miss the incredible athleticism he displayed in games. Edelman won the Super Bowl MVP in Super Bowl LIII against the Los Angeles Rams, then retired at 34 a couple of years later. He retired in the 2021 offseason due to a chronic knee injury that prevented him from performing at a high standard. If Edelman were to come out of retirement, he would still be a sneaky good slot receiver and deceive opposing defensive backs and create some outstanding trick plays since he was a quarterback at Kent State. He would also likely return to the New England Patriots or another championship contender and work with quarterbacks like Drake Maye, Sam Darnold, Bo Nix, Patrick Mahomes, or Jalen Hurts, throwing him passes instead of Tom Brady.  Seeing a prime Julian Edelman dominate in today’s NFL would be an incredible treat to watch every Sunday. Especially when the lights are shining the brightest during a prime-time game.  Luke KuechlyDec 15, 2019; Charlotte, NC, USA; Carolina Panthers middle linebacker Luke Kuechly (59) looks back to the ref after a play against the Seattle Seahawks during the second half at Bank of America Stadium. Mandatory Credit: Jim Dedmon-USA TODAY Sports Now, Hall of Famer Luke Kuechly was a force to be reckoned with when he was with the Carolina Panthers.  He was the 2013 NFL Defensive Player of the Year back in his prime and made seven Pro Bowls.  Kuechly retired from the league at 28 due to focusing on his long-term health and having a track record of multiple concussions.  If Kuechly didn’t suffer from any of those concussions during his playing career, he could make a great comeback and dominate on any defensive unit. Kuechly would be a great addition to defensive-heavy teams like the Seattle Seahawks and their “Darkside” defense or the Houston Texans and their incredible defense for the 2026 season if he could come out of retirement, as the current Carolina Panthers are nowhere near championship contention. Seeing an in-prime Kuechly back in action would be incredible fanfare for fans and an exciting must-watch on TV. Especially dominating the current crop of opposing quarterbacks, trying to make a name for themselves in the league.  Andrew WhitworthFormer Bengal Andrew Whitworth watches the final minutes in the fourth quarter of the NFL Week 4 game between the Cincinnati Bengals and the Miami Dolphins at PayCor Stadium in downtown on Thursday, Sept. 29, 2022. The Bengals improved to 2-2 with a 27-15 win over the Dolphins. Miami Dolphins At Cincinnati Bengals Week 4 Whitworth was one of the best offensive tackles in the 21st century, thanks to his incredible football IQ, remarkable longevity, and elite proficiency during his playing days with the Cincinnati Bengals and Los Angeles Rams. Whitworth retired from playing due to his age and wanted to go out on his own terms after winning Super Bowl LVI with the Los Angeles Rams. If Whitworth came out of retirement and returned to playing in his prime, he would be an excellent fit for teams looking for a strong and reliable offensive line.  Whitworth started in 234 out of 239 games in his legendary career. He has a 93.4 grade from Pro Football Focus, and he had one touchdown in the 2010 season with the Bengals. Whitworth also allowed very few sacks in his storied career, making him an incredible offensive lineman to have in today’s NFL on teams with strong or rebuilding offensive lines.  Teams would love Whitworth’s professionalism, durability, and versatility, which he would bring to protect current quarterbacks in the league.  Randy MossSep 17, 2006; Baltimore, MD, USA; Oakland Raiders wide receiver Randy Moss (18) looks on against the Baltimore Ravens at M&T Bank Stadium. Credit: Lou Capozzola-USA TODAY NETWORK Moss was a superstar wide receiver during his prime with the Minnesota Vikings and New England Patriots back in the late 1990s and 2000s. Moss had video game-like stats, leaped over defenders, and broke several records throughout his career, like scoring a record-breaking 23 touchdowns in his debut season with the Patriots back in 2007.  If Moss ever came out of retirement, he would be very impactful for a wide receiver-needy team looking for someone who could make a game-changing play, shifting everything in their favor.  It would be incredibly exciting to see Moss catch touchdown passes from modern-day quarterbacks like Patrick Mahomes, Sam Darnold, Lamar Jackson, Drake Maye, or Jalen Hurts. On top of that, Moss would likely be a missing link to help a championship-contending team win that elusive Super Bowl they’ve been looking for.

5 NFL QBs Fans Hate Despite Winning — And 5 They Love Despite Losing

QB’s in today’s NFL are shaping their legacy as either heroes who lead their team to victory or someone who can’t seem to get over the hump of losing and not winning enough. These quarterbacks are doing everything they can to win it all on the field and dominate for our favorite teams, no matter the outcome. Some quarterbacks are loved and admired for their courage, their ability to soldier through the league’s intensity without winning much, while those who have conquered most of the NFL can be hated at times for winning too much. When a quarterback is hated, there are numerous reasons fans hate them, from their constant success, domination of opponents during the regular season, and always winning a Super Bowl, when there are other quarterbacks we go to see hoist the Lombardi Trophy instead. Regardless of whether these guys will be Hall of Famers or not, some quarterbacks are beloved despite losing a lot, and some are hated, even though they can’t stop winning. Here are five current quarterbacks who win, but are hated, and five quarterbacks who lose, but are loved. Which QBs are loved despite losing a ton, and which ones are hated due to winning? Wins but hated: Patrick MahomesPatrick Mahomes (Amy Kontras-Imagn Images) Even though Mahomes is a three-time Super Bowl champion, three-time Super Bowl MVP, and two-time league MVP, he can be pretty hated for the amount of winning he’s racked up. Mahomes has made the Kansas City Chiefs a Super Bowl dynasty; he’s also received favorable treatment from the refs and has embraced the villain role. Even though the Chiefs missed the playoffs in the 2025 season, fans were very happy to see them out, but with the championship-winning QB returning to action in 2026, he’ll have the potential to bring the Chiefs back to the playoffs. Mahomes knows how to make anyone on the Chiefs become a superstar and a champion, thanks to his winning ways that constantly make NFL fans jealous of his on-field success as a QB.  On top of that, Mahomes’ loved ones can be a bit distracting off the field from the headlines they’ve attracted throughout the years. All of those factors combined make Mahomes one of the more irritating quarterbacks to fans who already dislike the Chiefs and their winning ways. Loses but loved: Justin HerbertNov 30, 2025; Inglewood, California, USA; Los Angeles Chargers quarterback Justin Herbert (10) drops back to pass against the Las Vegas Raiders during the first half at SoFi Stadium. Mandatory Credit: Kiyoshi Mio-Imagn Images Although Justin Herbert led the Chargers to the playoffs three times, he has yet to win a playoff game in his career so far.  Herbert displays elite physicality, is very consistent during the regular season, and has a humble personality. Herbert constantly carries the Chargers on his back when the team’s defense gives out during key playoff games.  He also has had a lackluster offensive line for most of his career, as he is seen running for his life during games. Sure, Herbert has guys like Quentin Johnston and Ladd McConkey to throw the ball to in the 2026 season, but he needs more Pro Bowl-caliber running backs and tight ends to throw to for a stronger offense. The popular QB may not have the championship résumé like Patrick Mahomes, but he tries to be very competitive every week, and we as fans hope he wins his first playoff game sooner rather than later. Wins but hated: Jalen HurtsJalen Hurts (Credit: IMAGN) Hurts is a talented dual-threat quarterback, but when it comes to playing for the Philadelphia Eagles, fans of opposing teams who are rivals to the Eagles don’t like him. Hurts has played dominant football ever since he became the team’s full-time starter in the 2021 season, and has led the Eagles to the playoffs each year so far. He also became a Super Bowl Champion in the 2024 season, when he and the Eagles dominated the Kansas City Chiefs 40-22 in Super Bowl LIX. He also knows how to get the best of everyone around him, which also makes fans of opposing teams jealous.  The “Tush Push” Hurts and the Eagles keep doing throughout games also gets extremely annoying, and the league wants to ban the play outright because of safety concerns, its effectiveness, and the unfair advantage it gives Hurts and the Eagles. In fact, Vegas Insider did a study on the most hated NFL player, and they found that the Eagles’ QB is the most hated player in the league.  It was also reported that Hurts didn’t even listen to his coaches during the 2025 season, as he would utilize his own game plan instead of what his coaches wanted him to run. Loses but loved: Trevor LawrenceSep 14, 2025; Cincinnati, Ohio, USA; Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback Trevor Lawrence (16) runs with the ball against the Cincinnati Bengals in the second half at Paycor Stadium. Mandatory Credit: Katie Stratman-Imagn Images Lawrence may not be the most elite QB in the league, but he has put in the effort in his game and has led the Jaguars to the playoffs twice so far in his career. Lawrence’s NFL career began in 2021 when he was coached by Urban Meyer, who made the headlines for the wrong reasons, while Lawrence kept a strong personal demeanor throughout that season. He has played inconsistently, as he led the league in interceptions in 2021, but cleaned that up when he had more competent coaches like Doug Pederson and Liam Coen coaching him instead. He’s also had a weak supporting cast around him, as he doesn’t have that elite wide receiver to work with yet. Sure, Lawrence and the Jaguars have Brian Thomas Jr. on the roster, but his play has regressed since his rookie season in 2024. Lawrence will also be without Travis Etienne Jr., as he signed a four-year, $52 million deal with the New Orleans Saints.  Lawrence was also beloved during his collegiate days back at Clemson, as he helped them win the 2019 College Football National Championship Game against the Alabama Crimson Tide 44-16. Wins but hated: Brock PurdyDec 30, 2024; Santa Clara, California, USA; San Francisco 49ers quarterback Brock Purdy (13) during the game against the Detroit Lions at Levi’s Stadium. Mandatory Credit: Sergio Estrada-Imagn Images When Purdy took control of the 49ers’ starting job in the 2022 season, fans were surprised at how talented he was, even though he was the final draft pick of the 2022 NFL Draft. He instantly became a winner under Kyle Shanahan’s system and kept the 49ers afloat in the ever-so competitive NFC West. However, Purdy is disliked by opposing fans and skeptics, labeling him as a system quarterback who has elite teammates around him and Shanahan coaching him day in and day out.  Purdy has a lack of elite physical traits compared to other quarterbacks like Patrick Mahomes, Josh Allen, and Lamar Jackson, even though he made the Pro Bowl once. Purdy always has elite talent surrounding him, as he constantly makes guys look incredible, which makes fans of opposing teams dislike him and his journey into the league. He has also dealt with his fair share of injuries, which hurts the 49ers’ chances in the playoffs and sometimes of reaching the playoffs. Loses but loved: Joe BurrowJoe Burrow (Photo Via Imagn Images) Even though Burrow hasn’t brought the Cincinnati Bengals to the Super Bowl since the 2021 season, he still brings a lot of fight to his game each week. Burrow’s competitive play elevates the team; he doesn’t shy away from losses as he takes his accountability and matures as a player and leader. Burrow has also suffered injuries throughout his playing career, and it stings, as fans want to see him lead the Bengals to a Super Bowl victory.  Most of the Bengals’ problems aren’t Burrow’s fault, but rather the team’s defense struggling to keep up against opposing teams, and the team not surrounding their star QB with the necessary pieces he needs to succeed. Burrow also has a coolness factor not found in other quarterbacks that comes from his humble attitude, style of play, and toughness he displays throughout the weeks.  We hope Burrow wins that elusive Super Bowl in the near future, as it would be well-deserved and a perfect cherry on top for Burrow’s résumé. Wins but hated: Aaron RodgersAaron Rodgers (8) reacts in the second quarter against the Cleveland Browns at Huntington Bank Field. (Ken Blaze-Imagn Images) Although Chicago Bears’ fans still hate Rodgers for all of the pain and torment he put them through, Rodgers has become pretty hated by many NFL fans for a lot of reasons: Rodgers’ questionable off-field behavior has rubbed fans the wrong way; his love-hate relationship with the media is an issue with fans, as he wants to control the narrative, and his polarizing behavior has been irritating. Besides all of that, Rodgers’ winning against our favorite teams has been hard and painful to watch throughout the years. In 2025, he had a decent season, where he led the Pittsburgh Steelers to a 10-7 record with his immense skill set, which has rubbed opposing fan bases the wrong way. However, no one knows if Rodgers will play in 2026 or not, as his mysterious ways also rub fans the wrong way. Despite winning one Super Bowl, Rodgers also has had bad luck in playoff games when it mattered most, as he hasn’t been back to the Super Bowl since the 2010 season, and that also irritates his fans, while fans who don’t like him enjoy it. As of now, no one knows if Rodgers will suit up for the 2026 season, as it drives us crazy to wonder whether he’ll play or not. If Rodgers does play, his haters and critics will be there to point out his flaws during the regular season.  Loses but loved: Baker MayfieldTampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Baker Mayfield (6) makes a pass against Detroit Lions defensive end Aidan Hutchinson (97) during the second half at Ford Field in Detroit on Monday, Oct. 20, 2025. Mayfield has seen some success with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in recent days, but he’s had his hardships on the field, and fans will always appreciate his humble attitude. Mayfield’s selfless play has brought the Browns out of misery and got them into the 2020-21 playoffs and their first playoff win since the 1994 season. He has kept the Buccaneers afloat in the NFC South after Tom Brady retired, but has had limited playoff success. Mayfield is a beloved underdog as he began his collegiate career as a walk-on, who won the Heisman Trophy in 2017, and has always carried that underdog mentality throughout his NFL career, even though he was drafted with the first pick of the 2018 NFL Draft. He is a great influence off the field, thanks to his community engagement, mentoring, and helping out with disaster relief. And similar to Joe Burrow, Mayfield’s personality is very likable and relatable to fans wanting to root for a hard-working QB.  If the Buccaneers somehow improve during the 2026 season and return to the playoffs, we will be rooting for Mayfield and his team to make a serious playoff run for the Super Bowl, depending on how they finish in the regular season. Wins but hated: Lamar JacksonLamar Jackson (Jay Biggerstaff-Imagn Images) Although Lamar Jackson won two league MVPs, opposing fans don’t like him due to his lack of playoff success, his style of play, and how he negotiates his contracts. Jackson brings elite competitiveness to the Baltimore Ravens, as the way he runs through opposing defenses makes opposing fans jealous during the regular season.  He’s kept the Ravens afloat during the regular season and has adapted as a passer throughout the years.  However, as mentioned earlier, opposing fans don’t like Lamar Jackson, as he’s incredible in the league, which makes them jealous of his athletic prowess as a QB. Not to mention not being able to reach a Super Bowl and falling flat in the playoffs has fans annoyed, despite Jackson and the Ravens having talented rosters that could get them there. Once Lamar captures that elusive Super Bowl, fans will be happy for him, while the haters will continue to wish he were on their teams instead. Loses but loved: Kyler MurraySep 7, 2025; New Orleans, Louisiana, USA; Arizona Cardinals quarterback Kyler Murray (1) against the New Orleans Saints during the second half at Caesars Superdome. Mandatory Credit: Stephen Lew-Imagn Images Murray may be 5-foot-10, but he has gifted athletic talents, giving fans fun athletic reels to enjoy during Thursday nights, Sundays, and Monday nights.  Murray’s dual-threat abilities and his gunslinger mentality make him an exciting quarterback to watch on game days. HE has reached the playoffs once in his career, only to be bounced out of the Wildcard Round in a tough 34-11 loss against the Cardinals’ divisional rivals, the Los Angeles Rams.  Murray has dealt with very inconsistent seasons and injuries in recent years, leading to his release from the Cardinals and his signing a one-year deal with the Minnesota Vikings.  Murray was a foundational player who tried his best to get the Cardinals far during his time with them. He even posted a message on social media saying, “I wanted nothing more than to be the one to end the 77-year drought for this organization. I am sorry I failed us. I wish the community and my brothers nothing but the best.” A message like that is humble and from the heart, as the QB meant every word and did everything he could, as we mentioned a second ago.   It’s unknown if Murray will be the starter heading into week one, as the Vikings still have J. J. McCarthy on the roster. Will Murray be able to revive his career under Kevin O’Connell’s coaching? Who knows, but O’Connell has had a history of getting the best out of the quarterbacks he’s coached, and we hope he can get the best out of Murray during the 2026 season.
