Tom Brady announces retirement from NFL ‘for good’
After 23 seasons and seven Super Bowl triumphs
Seven-time Super Bowl-winning quarterback Tom Brady has announced his retirement from the NFL “for good”.
The legendary 45-year-old confirmed the news in video post on social media having first announced his retirement on February 1 last year before reversing his decision to return for his 23rd season just 40 days later.
”Good morning guys, I will get to the point right away. I am retiring. For good,” said Brady.
“I know the process was a pretty big deal last time so when I woke up this morning I figured I would 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.
“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 is too many.
“Thank you guys for letting me live my absolute dream and I wouldn’t change a thing.
“Love you all.”
Brady hangs up his cleats as a seven-time Super Bowl champion, a five-time Super Bowl MVP, a three-time league MVP, a 15-time Pro Bowler, a three-time First-Team All-Pro selection and the NFL’s all-time leader in passing yards (89,214), passing touchdowns (649), quarterback wins (251) and pass completions (7,753).
