Adams appeared on Shannon Sharpe’s Club Shay Shay Podcast over the weekend.

Sharpe mentioned Brady, 46, who did not retire in 2022 and played his final year with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers the following season.

Adams didn’t let Sharpe finish his question about Brady returning to the NFL to play for the Raiders when Adams quickly said, “Hell, yes.”

The Las Vegas star even said he wouldn’t mind if Brady was 58 in the process.

“Look, Tom, know how I feel about him, man,” Adams said.

“And the other part is I think I would be the first person to play with Tom and Aaron (Rodgers), so that would be really cool.

“I mean, he’s getting older, but he still needs to be able to throw better than half these guys in the league.”

Adams’ comments about Brady came after he recently said that if he would “get together with anyone, it would be Aaron” Rodgers.

The 31-year-old played eight seasons with Rodgers when both were teammates with the Green Bay Packers.

Adams made five Pros Bowls during this period.

He didn’t have the same comfort as a quarterback with the Raiders that he once had with the Packers.

Adams played with quarterbacks Derek Carr, Jarrett Stidham, Jimmy Garapollo, Aidan O’Connell and Brian Hoyer.

It was also revealed that the three-time First Team All-Pro gave permission to bench Garapollo during NetflixReceiver’s successful series.

Adams’ hopes that Brady will return to play in the NFL seem like a dream rather than a reality.

Brady, who turns 47 next month, is also on track to become part-owner of the Raiders.

Adams will have O’Connell and Gardner Minshew as his quarterbacks.

The Raiders went 8-9 last season and finished the year with wins against their three AFC West rivals.

Adams finished with 103 receptions for 1,144 yards and eight touchdowns.
