Report: Tom Brady Retiring After Historic 22-Season Career with Patriots, Buccaneers

Future Hall of Fame quarterback Tom Brady, who won seven Super Bowl titles across 22 years with the New England Patriots and Tampa Bay Buccaneers, is reportedly set to announce his retirement from the NFL.

ESPN's Adam Schefter and Jeff Darlington reported the news of Brady's decision Saturday, which comes after the Bucs' title defense ended with a loss to the Los Angeles Rams in the Divisional Round.

The 15-time Pro Bowl selection's announcement that he's hung up his cleats for the final time comes as a surprise given his continued high-level play since joining the Bucs in 2020, though he did say his family would play a key role in his decision when he didn't take a firm stance on his future after the playoff loss.
