The Tom Brady era is officially over. For good this time.
The 46-year-old, seven-time Super Bowl champion announced his retirement Wednesday morning with a video posted to his social media channels. Brady retired last offseason but unretired after just 40 days, electing to return for one more run with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
The legendary quarterback insists that this time there will be no takebacks.
With Brady hanging it up, several teams expected to be in the market for a Super Bowl-caliber quarterback now must look elsewhere. The Las Vegas Raiders, New York Jets, New Orleans Saints, and Bucs now must pivot their quarterback carousel plans away from dreams of having the GOAT suit up for them.
