BREAKING: Tom Brady Officially Makes Decision On Retirement

NFL Quarterback Tom Brady officially made his decision today on whether he’d retire or not this off-season. Following the 2021 NFL off-season, it was falsely reported that Brady would retire.

Today, Brady broke the news on his Twitter account that he would be deciding to retire from the NFL, after 23 seasons:

“Good morning, guys. I’ll get to the point right away. I’m retiring. For good,” he said. “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 I’d let you guys know first. It won’t be long-winded. You only get one super emotional retirement essay, and I used mine up last year. So I really thank you guys so much. To every single one of you for supporting me: My family, my friends, my teammates, my competitors I could go on forever. There’s too many. Thank you guys for allowing me to live my absolute dream. I wouldn’t change a thing. I love you all.”

Throughout Brady’s highly decorated career, he’s been a 7x Super Bowl champion (XXXVI, XXXVIII, XXXIX, XLIX, LI, LIII, LV), an NFL record he is likely to hold for decades to come, as well as a 5x Super Bowl MVP (XXXVI, XLIX, LI, LIII, LV.)
