Tom Brady announces NFL retirement 'for good' with brief video post on social media

Tom Brady announced Wednesday morning that he is retiring from the NFL – again. And, this time, for good.

"I know the process was a pretty big deal last time, so when I woke up this morning, I figured I'd just press record and let you guys know first," the seven-time Super Bowl champion said in a post on social media. "I won't be long-winded. You only get one super emotional retirement essay, and I used mine up last year."

Brady, 45, played 23 seasons in the NFL, most of them with the New England Patriots before joining the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in 2020.
