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.

“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.

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.

After leading the Tampa Bay Buccaneers to the playoffs this season, and ending a 13-year franchise playoff drought in the process, Brady led them to a 31-23 victory over the Washington Football Team on Saturday.

This postseason win marks Brady’s 31st throughout his career. Years ago, he broke the record for most career playoff wins when he passed San Francisco 49ers quarterback legend Joe Montana who had 16. Now, Brady has nearly doubled that total.

But Brady’s postseason success is more than just the amount of playoff wins he’s racked up. After defeating Washington this weekend, they became the 17th franchise that Brady has ousted in the playoffs. In other words, not only has Brady nearly doubled Montana’s career playoff wins—the number of different teams he’s beaten in the playoffs has surpassed Montana’s total playoff wins!

This is not a knock on Montana in the slightest. He simply serves as a 2nd place marker to show how legendary Brady’s accomplishments are. If that’s how much better Brady is than Montana, think about how lopsided Brady’s accolades look next to other great quarterbacks.

Tom Brady is by far the greatest quarterback of all time, and probably the greatest NFL player we’ve seen as well.

In a statement posted on Instagram and Twitter, Brady thanked the entire Pats’ organization, staff, and coaches, while hinting that he’ll play for another franchise in 2020.

“Although my football journey will take place elsewhere, I appreciate everything that we have achieved and am grateful for our incredible TEAM accomplishments,” Brady wrote.

“I don’t know what my football future holds, but it is time for me to open a new stage for my life and career,” he added.

Tom Brady spent his entire professional career with the New England Patriots, leading the organization to six Super Bowl titles. Despite their success together, the two sides couldn’t come to an agreement on a new contract last year, which led to a scenario in which Brady became a free agent for the first time in his accomplished career.

Given that Brady’s mind appears to be made up, once the NFL free agency officially kicks off on March 18th, the 42-year-old will be able to sign with any team he wants. His next destination, however, isn’t so apparent at the moment.

Brady was closely linked with Tennessee Titans and Las Vegas Raiders in recent weeks, but neither destination seems likely at the moment. Titans decided to give Ryan Tannehill a new deal over the weekend, while Raiders signed former No.2 overall pick Marcus Mariota in free agency.

Other landing spots for Brady might include Indianapolis Colts, Los Angeles Chargers, Tampa Bay Buccaneers, and possibly Chicago Bears.

Pats, on the other hand, will probably look to add a quality QB in the offseason to compete with 2019’s 4th round pick Jarrett Stidham for the starting spot.

Brady is set to enter the 2020 off season as a free agent for the first time in his 20-year-long NFL career, and it appears that he is ready to consider all options, including playing for another team. Speaking with Jim Gray on Westwood One Radio, the 42-year-old said that he will be “open-minded” about the free agency.

“I’m open-minded about the process,” Brady told Gray. “At the same time, I love playing football and I want to continue to play and do a great job. So I’m looking forward to what’s ahead. Whatever the future may bring, I’ll embrace it with open arms.”

Patriots’ head coach Bill Belichick was asked several times about Tom Brady’s future with the franchise in recent weeks but declined to give assurance that Brady will be back in 2020. Brady, on the other hand, reiterated his intention to play until he’s 45 in follow up interviews, shutting down rumors about his retirement.

There is still a chance that Brady will remain with the Pats, as the two sides have until March to agree on a new deal. If that doesn’t happen, the legendary QB will probably start taking meetings with other teams. At this point, there is no obvious suitor for him, but teams that are look quarterback away from contention, like Los Angeles Chargers and Chicago Bears, might make a run.

Speaking on The Greg Hill Show on Monday, Brady explained his behavior saying he was just frustrated with New England’s offense.

“It’s just frustration with the offense; we’re trying to grind them out. I’m happy we won on the road, but at the same time, I just wish we’d score more points,” said Brady. “We have to figure out how we can fix our problems as best we can.”

Brady threw for 216 yards on Sunday but failed to have a single touchdown pass. Instead, it was wide receiver Julian Edelman who had a passing TD against Philly. According to ESPN, this was the first time in Brady’s 20-year-long NFL career that he didn’t lead his team in a number of passing TDs in a game he played from the beginning to the end. 

“I just wish we would play better offensively,” Brady added. “We have to go do it. I don’t think it’s about talking about it. It’s about doing it and trying to get the best we can out of our offense, and seeing if we can be more productive and score more points.”

Tom Brady is currently in the middle of one of the less-productive seasons of his career, which is understandable considering he turned 42 in August. Brady threw for 2,752 yards and 14 TDs in 2019 while adding five interceptions. His QBR is 90.1 through 11 weeks of this season, which is the lowest he had since 2013.
