Last offseason, Brady announced his retirement, however after 40 days, he decided to return to football to see out his last season with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. He stated, however, that his subsequent retirement would be a permanent one, citing his desire to move on to new endeavors following his illustrious career.

During his 23-season NFL career, Brady won seven Super Bowl Championship rings. Upon retiring from the NFL, he is set to become a Fox Sports analyst in 2024.

Now that Brady is set to retire, the Buccanneers will free up $35 million in their salary cap, thereby being able to put it to use in 2023. According to Roster Management System, Tampa Bay is expected to be $60 million over its salary cap.

Announcing his decision in a video posted on social media, Brady said that his second retirement is “for good”. He also added that he didn’t want to make it a big deal like it was the first time.

“I won’t be long-winded,” said Brady in the clip. “You only get one super emotional retirement essay, and I used mine up last year, so really thank you guys so much to every single one of you for supporting me.”

Brady spent the first 20 years of his career with the New England Patriots, leading the franchise to six Super Bowl wins and winning numerous individual accolades. He left New England after the 2019 season to join the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. With the Bucs, Brady won another Super Bowl ring while also adding to his expansive list of NFL records.

Following the 2022 NFL season, which ended with a wild-card playoff exit for the Bucs, Brady became a free agent. He was linked with a number of teams, including the Las Vegas Raiders, the San Francisco 49ers, and the Miami Dolphins, but ultimately decided to end his journey as a professional football player.

Despite retirement, Brady will remain involved in football. He already signed a 10-year, $375 million contract with Fox Sports that will see him make him venture into the role of an analyst.

While the veteran admitted that he downplayed the injury’s severity at first, he insisted that he is recovering well and stated “I feel great” when asked by reporters, going on to declare that “It’s football season.” Brady was not listed as one of the 12 players featured on Tampa Bay’s injury report for the week.

According to reporters who observed Brady in training, the player seemed to be experiencing discomfort during Thursday’s training session. Still, Brady explained that injuries such as this are part of the game.

“I banged it up pretty good, but it didn’t affect me at all in the game. Just going to be sore throughout the week. But one of those bumps and bruises that comes along with playing.” Brady confirmed that those players who are able to recover fast from injuries and get back on the field are the ones that come out on top, signaling his own determination to make a swift recovery.

“This is difficult for me to write, but here it goes: I am not going to make that competitive commitment anymore,” Brady, who spent the past two seasons with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, wrote on Instagram. “I have loved my NFL career, and now it is time to focus my time and energy on other things that require my attention.”

ESPN reported the news about Brady’s retirement late last week, but the Buccaneers and those close to the legendary quarterback insisted that he still hasn’t made the final decision. The 44-year-old followed this up by saying that he’ll reveal his plans for the future “when the time’s right” while making an appearance on the “Let’s Go!” podcast. The time ended up being right less than 24 hours later.   

“I’ve done a lot of reflecting the past week and have asked myself difficult questions,” Brady added. “And I am so proud of what we have achieved. My teammates, coaches, fellow competitors, and fans deserve 100% of me, but right now, it’s best I leave the field of play to the next generation of dedicated and committed athletes.”

Tom Brady entered the league as the New England Patriots’ sixth-round pick in 2000. He went on to win six Super Bowl rings with the franchise while winning three NFL MVP honors as well. Brady then left New England in 2020 to sign with the Bucs and managed to lead the franchise to a Super Bowl win in his first season in Tampa Bay. The Buccaneers were eliminated in the NFC’s divisional round this postseason.

Brady is widely viewed as the greatest quarterback in NFL history and holds almost every passing record there is. He retires with 84,520 passing yards, 624 passing touchdowns, and a career completion percentage of 64.2.

The Saints went after Brady from the get-go, pressuring him into early throws or forcing him to take a sack. They were so efficient that Brady managed to throw for 214 yards while completing just 54.2 percent of his passes. Both were season-lows for the 44-year-old.

At the end of the game, Brady also had one interception, one forced fumble, and was sacked four times.

The Saints will likely cherish the shutout even more, knowing that they helped franchise legend Drew Brees preserve his record for most games without a shutout (304). Entering the game against New Orleans, Brady had an active streak of 255 games in which his offense put up points on board.

Brady’s struggles on Sunday night were no coincidence. Since he arrived in Tampa ahead of the 2020 NFL season, the Saints were his toughest matchup, and he lost all four times he played against them in the regular season. However, he did get the better of them in the playoffs last season when the Bucs beat New Orleans en route to Super Bowl.

By losing to the Saints, the Bucs have diminished their chances of getting the top seed in NFC. They are currently 10-4 while the conference leaders, Green Bay Packers, have 11-3 and own a tiebreaker.

The Saints, on the other hand, improved to a 7-7 record and kept their playoff chances alive.

The Bucs’ offense had a strong start, with veteran quarterback Tom Brady throwing two touchdowns on the first two possessions. He managed to be efficient and timely with his throw despite playing with an injured thumb.

While the Eagles managed to score in their first drive, they were held scoreless for the entire second quarter and the majority of the third. In the meantime, the Bucs continued to add to their lead and were up 28-7 at one point, thanks to two TD runs by Leonard Fournette.

Philly’s offense finally started showing signs of life again late in the third quarter, with Jalen Hurts rushing for a touchdown to cut into the Bucs lead. Hurts then had another rushing TD and a successful two-point conversion with 5:54 left on the clock to make it 28-22.

Unfortunately for Philadelphia, Tampa Bay’s crafty offense ran down the clock and never gave Hurts a chance to lead a game-winning drive.

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers improved to a 5-1 record with this win and are comfortably at the top of the NFC South. The Philadelphia Eagles, on the other hand, are down to 2-4 and third spot in NFC East.

With 2:30 minutes left on the clock in the first half, Brady hit his thumb on the helmet of a defender. Still, the veteran quarterback played through the pain, an act that resulted in the rest of the team and the coaching staff remaining unaware of his injury until the half-time break.

“I didn’t [know]. But he’s a tough guy obviously, one of the most durable players we’ve seen. He looked normal to me, so I didn’t know he was injured,” wide receiver Mike Evans revealed after hearing about Brady’s injury.

Brady continued participating in team practices following his injury, albeit to a limited extent. At Monday’s practice, Brady wore a glove on his right hand and did not throw any passes. Brady upped his involvement during Tuesday’s practice, with coach Bruce Arians stating that the 44-year-old did not express any pain when throwing passes.

While appearing on his podcast Let’s Go!, which he hosts alongside Larry Fitzgerald and Jim Gray, Brady revealed that he always enjoys the most when he gets a win against the New York Giants.

“The team I would love to beat the most is the Giants, there’s no doubt about that because they’ve taken away some really, you know—I’ve always joked with Eli [Manning, the former Giants’ QB] but, yeah, and I think he likes that I bring it up all the time,” Brady said. “So to bring it up again, I do not like losing to those guys, so when we beat them I love that.”

The reason why Tom Brady enjoys beating the Giants is pretty clear. While with the New England Patriots, Brady faced the New York Giants twice in the Super Bowl and lost both times. This included the 2007 NFL season when the Pats were one win away from the perfect season but ended up being denied by the Giants in Super Bowl XLII.

Brady also revealed the team he likes beating the least, with the answer being unsurprising.

“And the team I like to beat the least is obviously the Patriots. Again, those are my guys, man,” said Brady.

The game went back and forth until late in the fourth period when the Cowboys scored a 48-yard field goal to take a 29-28 lead. Brady and the Bucs took over with 1:24 left on the game clock, but even this proved to be enough time for the three-time NFL MVP.

Brady marched down the field with several impressive throws and secured a manageable field goal position for his Ryan Succop. The Bucs kicker delivered under pressure, kicking a 36-yarder with two seconds left in the regulation and leaving the Cowboys no time to respond.

Brady finished the game by completing 32 passes out of 50 attempted, throwing for 379 yards and four touchdowns. Two of the TDs went to his favorite target tight end Rob Gronkowski while wideouts Antonio Brown and Chris Godwin snatched one apiece.

“There was no doubt that we’re going to win the game with him,” said Tampa Bay head coach Bruce Arians after the game. “It’s just who’s going to make plays.”

On the other end, Dallas Cowboys signal-caller Dak Prescott also delivered an impressive performance, throwing for 403 yards and three TDs. Amari Cooper had 13 receptions and two scores, while CeeDee Lamb added seven catches for 104 yards and a touchdown.

In a recent chat with reporters, Tampa Bay head coach Bruce Arians said that Brady will be out for several months and is expected to return to full practice “somewhere around June”. But despite this long recovery period, Arians doesn’t seem worried about his veteran signal-caller, adding that Brady can “coach the **** out of” his teammates from the sidelines.

Another sign that the Buccaneers are not concerned about Brady’s recovery is their wish to sign him to an extension. Tampa general manager Jason Licht recently said on “The Rich Eisen Show” that the team is interested in keeping the 43-year-old legend past this season and has already made exploratory talks with his representatives.

Tom Brady signed a two-year deal with the Bucs last offseason, coming to Tampa after 20 years with the New England Patriots. He immediately transformed the team into a contender, putting up a great statistical regular season while proving to be reliable as always in the playoffs.
