The news of Tom Brady's retirement set off a frenzy on social media, but Buccaneers coach Bruce Arians reportedly has not been told about the quarterback's plans.
Rick Stroud, who covers the Buccaneers for the Tampa Bay Times, reported that Brady had not informed the Bucs of his retirement.
The Athletic's Greg Auman, who also covers the Buccaneers, backed up Stroud's report.
“I’ve got the same information here. If Brady is retiring, which is very possible, he hasn’t told the Bucs yet,” Auman tweeted.
Whether or not Brady has told local media, the congratulatory tweets are pouring in from his Tampa Bay teammates.
