Seven-time Super Bowl champion Tom Brady announced this morning he has officially retired.
Arguably the greatest quarterback in football and undoubtedly its first global icon, Brady announced his first retirement precisely one year ago today. In a video on social media, the 23-year NFL veteran said this time it’s “for good.”
In addition to winning seven Super Bowls (six with the New England Patriots and one with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers), Brady is a five-time Super Bowl MVP and three-time league MVP. He also has the record for the most regular season and playoff passing yards.
The Sporting News has more on the announcement:
Brady’s retirement came exactly one year after he retired during the 2022 offseason. At that time, Brady said that it was “time to focus my time and energy on other things that require my attention.”
Brady would reverse course on his decision just 40 days later. He played the 2022 season with the Buccaneers and posted 4,694 passing yards, 25 touchdowns and nine interceptions.
The Buccaneers made the playoffs but posted just an 8-9 record. That marked Brady’s first losing season as a starter. His last game came in a 31-14 playoff loss against the Cowboys during which he total 351 passing yards, two touchdowns and an interception.
Even still, Brady said that he “wouldn’t change a thing” about how his 23-year career played out in his retirement announcement.
