Kurt Warner, a 2017 Hall of Fame inductee, raised some eyebrows earlier this week when he said he thought about making a comeback to the NFL for the 2018 season. He is 47 years old and has been retired for eight years, but that wasn't stopping him from thinking about the comeback.

“I was actually ready to, for this coming season, I actually talked to a coach and my wife said, ‘Go for it, I think it would be great,’” Warner recently said during a St. Louis Cardinals broadcast. “So I actually talked to a coach about possibly doing it if they needed someone, but then they went out and signed somebody. I don’t think they thought I was serious. So I think we’re completely done now.”

Those comments opened a lot of eyes, but for Warner, he was just mentioning that he texted a coach, he wasn't trying to make a big news story about it.

“I simply mentioned that I had thrown a text to a coaching friend — saying 1 think I could give him one more yr if he needed me!” Warner said. “This was not — I’m dead set on making a comeback… just friends having a convo!!”

Now the big question is Warner being truthful, or does he want to throw his hat into the ring just in case a team ends up needing a quarterback at some point this season.

Warner had himself quite the NFL career playing in 124 games. He finished his career throwing for 32,344 yards, 208 touchdowns, and 128 interceptions. He famously led the St. Louis Rams to their first Super Bowl title in 2000 and also led the Arizona Cardinals to their first-ever Super Bowl appearance in 2009.
