If this really is the end for Tom Brady, it will be a rather inglorious one.
On Wednesday morning, Brady announced that he is retiring and that this time it’s “for good.” The announcement comes on the heels of his least successful season from a team perspective, as 2022 was the first time that he has ever led a team that finished below .500. Of course, the Buccaneers still made the playoffs, thanks to a dismal NFC South division, but were bounced easily in the Wild Card playoffs by the Dallas Cowboys.
Of course, Brady retired briefly last season, only to decide to return to football a few short weeks later.
