“Good morning guys, I’ll get to the point right away: I’m retiring for good,”

“I know the process was a little complicated the last time, so when I woke up this morning, I figured I’d just push record to let you guys know first so it wouldn’t be too long.”

Brady, who won seven Super Bowls during his NFL career, thanked his supporters for their support.

“My family, my friends, my teammates, my competitors, I could go on and on,” he continued. “Thank you for giving me the opportunity to live my absolute dream; I wouldn’t change a thing. I adore each and every one of you.”

The Bucs posted a photo of Brady on social media with the phrase “#ThankYouTom” and the praying hands and goat emojis.

Brady joined the Patriots as the 199th overall pick in the 2000 NFL draft. He won his first Super Bowl with the Patriots in 2002, and he went on to win five more until leaving for the Buccaneers in 2020.

He led the Bucs to their second Super Bowl win in 2021, and announced he would be retiring on Feb. 1, 2022. The quarterback changed his mind 40 days later and said he would be playing another season with the Bucs.

Brady is widely considered to be the greatest quarterback of all time — he is the only player to have won more than five Super Bowls and has been MVP five times.

Brady’s announcement comes three months after he and his wife, Gisele Bündchen, officially divorced after 13 years of marriage. The pair share two children, Benjamin, 13, and Vivian, 10, and Brady has another son, Jack, 15, with Bridget Moynahan.
