Tom Brady is the greatest quarterback to ever play the game of football. Having said that, he has played 23 seasons, which means the end was always approaching. Additionally, this was one of his worst seasons statistically, so it only made sense that he would ride off into the sunset.
Over the last few weeks, fans had been patiently awaiting the announcement of his next move. Brady is a player who move the needle, although he did unretire last season. Regardless, Brady appears to be done with the game of football as he took to Twitter with a message this morning.
Tom Brady Speaks
“I know the process was a pretty big deal last time, so when I woke up this morning, I figured I’d just press record and let you guys know first,” Brady explained. “I won’t be longwinded. You only get one super emotional retirement essay, and I used mine up last year, so really thank you guys so much to every single one of you for supporting me.”
Truly grateful on this day. Thank you
