Tom Brady, the seven-time Super Bowl champion who holds every major NFL passing record, announced in an emotional beachside video that he was “retiring for good.”
The video was posted to his social media accounts with exactly one year saying goodbye to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers to focus on off the field commitments. He will announce his return in less than two months.
In the video, he said, “Good morning, guys. I’ll get to the point right away.” “I’m retiring permanently. I know the process was a pretty big deal last time. So, when I got up this morning, I thought I’d hit record and let you guys know first. I’m not going to be. Long winded. You only get one emotional retirement essay and you used mine last year.” .
“Thank you guys really so much to every single one of you for supporting me. My family, my friends, my teammates, the competitors… I could go on forever. There’s so much. Thank you guys for letting me live a dream.”
“I wouldn’t change anything.”
Brady posted several photos of his family, friends, teammates, and coaches on his Instagram Stories.
The Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback led his team to the playoffs even when the team was plagued by numerous injuries and finished with an 8-9 record.
