Tom Brady announces retirement ‘for good’
Tom Brady announced on social media Wednesday he’s retiring. This time, he said, he’s not going to change his mind.
In the video, the former Tampa quarterback insists this this time there’s no going back.
“Good morning, guys, I’ll get to the point right away: I’m retiring for good,” Brady 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 let you guys know first. So I won’t be long-winded. I think 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. My family, my friends, teammates, my competitors, I could go on forever, there’s too many. Thank you, guys, for letting me live my absolute dream. I wouldn’t change a thing. Love you all.”
Brady has won seven Super Bowl titles and owns NFL records for most wins, most passes, most completions, most yards and most touchdowns, both in the regular season and in the postseason.
The Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback led his team to the playoffs even as team was dealt with a ton of injuries and finished with an 8-9 record.
