MIs he over or is he going on? Doubts remain after consistent reports of football superstar Tom Brady’s impending retirement. His father Tom Brady Sr. stated that the decision about the future had not yet been finalized. Brady’s company “TB12 Sports” deleted a tweet that acknowledged key data of his career. “Thanks for everything, Tom Brady,” it said.
“I understand the speculation about Tom’s future,” his manager Don Yee said in a statement, according to ESPN. “Tom will be the only one who will express his plans with absolute clarity.” This will happen “soon”.
The Tampa Bay Buccaneers, with whom Brady (44) got his seventh Super Bowl ring last year, still have no information. “We don’t know anything,” head coach Bruce Arians told The Athletic, among others.
ESPN first reported that the quarterback legend wants to retire after 22 years in the National Football League (NFL). Brady left the New England Patriots in 2020 after 19 years and a title dynasty. He continued his career in Florida, where he won another Super Bowl with the Buccaneers and old pal Rob Gronkowski.

A resignation would not be necessary for sporting reasons. Until the end of the season, he showed that the oldest player in the league was still capable of it. In the main round he had the best scores for touchdowns, successful passes, attempted passes and yards thrown. He almost helped the Buccaneers comeback against the Rams, for which he is feared and respected in the league.
In addition to the title record, he also holds the record for passing yards (84,520) and touchdowns (624). In total, he was in the Super Bowl final ten times. When he was picked in the sixth round of the 2000 draft as the number 199, no one thought it was possible.
In this year’s playoffs, the Bucs lost 27:30 to the Los Angeles Rams after a thrilling comeback from 3:27 to 27:27 in the divisional round. Brady is a spectator in the semifinals, where the Kansas City Chiefs host the Cincinnati Bengals and the San Francisco 49ers meet the Rams on Sunday.
