Not retiring:
Tom Brady Says He Hasn’t Reached Retirement Decision. In Brady’s first public comments since reports that he’d end his 22-season career, the only timeline he gave for making a decision was “when the time’s right.” Sign up for the Pro Football Digest.
Brady, the 44-year-old quarterback, said he was trying to enjoy a “nice weekend” when ESPN published its report on Saturday afternoon, which cited multiple unnamed sources. In the ensuing hours, people close to Brady attempted to press pause on the news cycle, though they stopped short of saying that this was not the end of his career — just that Brady had not yet made a decision.
Official Retirement:
Brady took the same approach on his show Monday, saying that he was going “day by day” since the Tampa Bay Buccaneers lost to the Los Angeles Rams in the divisional round of the N.F.C. playoffs last week.
“There’s a lot of interest in when I am going to stop playing. I understand that, and it’s not that I don’t recognize that,” Brady said. “It’s just when I know I’ll know, and when I don’t know, I don’t know, and I am not going to race to some conclusion about that.”
