Jets' Twitter Account on Tom Brady's Retirement: 'This Better Be Real'

Perhaps nobody in the NFL is happier to see Tom Brady retire than the New York Jets, and the AFC East team had some fun with the all-time great's announcement Tuesday:

New York Jets

But seriously, congrats on a first-ballot, Hall of Fame career, <a href="https://twitter.com/TomBrady?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@TomBrady</a>.<br><br>We may not miss seeing you on the field, but the entire football world will. <a href="https://t.co/sgvPfpUa7B">pic.twitter.com/sgvPfpUa7B</a>

Brady actually did announce his retirement on social media, but there was some confusion about his status Saturday after ESPN's Adam Schefter and Jeff Darlington reported No. 12 was calling it quits.
