Tom Brady announces retirement again, this time ‘for good’

 

 

Tom Brady, a legendary quarterback and seven-time Super Bowl champion, announced his “for good” retirement from the NFL after 23 seasons.

Brady, 45, initially announced his retirement on this day last year, but six weeks later, he changed his mind, saying he still had “unfinished business.”

With the New England Patriots, he won six Super Bowls, and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, one in 2021.

Last month’s 31-14 play-off loss to the Bucs marked the end of Brady’s final season.

 

“I’m retiring – for good,” he said in an emotional video posted on social media. “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.

“It won’t be long-winded. You only get one super emotional retirement essay and I used mine up last year.

“Thank you so much to every single one of you for supporting me – my family, my friends, my team-mates, my competitors. I could go on forever – there’s too many.

“Thank you for allowing me to live my absolute dream. I wouldn’t change a thing. Love you all.”
