Editor's note: This story has been updated following the news of Tom Brady's retirement.
With their respective losses in the divisional round of the NFC playoffs, the chatter surrounding two of the best quarterbacks in NFL history pivoted toward an uncertain future. One of those uncertainties cleared up on Saturday. ESPN's Adam Schefter and Jeff Darlington reported that 44-year-old Tom Brady would retire, a dramatic U-turn for a player who has repeatedly said he wants to play until he's 45. With nothing left to prove, we will see an NFL without Brady for the first time since the Clinton administration.
