<p>In a recent interview with Elle magazine, Bündchen had expressed concerns over her husband returning to the sport. She had said, "This is a very violent sport, and I have my children and I would like him to be more present. I have definitely had those conversations with him over and over again. But ultimately, I feel that everybody has to make a decision that works for [them]. He needs to follow his joy, too."</p>

She had said, "This is a very violent sport, and I have my children and I would like him to be more present. I have definitely had those conversations with him over and over again. But ultimately, I feel that everybody has to make a decision that works for [them]. He needs to follow his joy, too."

Tom Brady ends retirement, says he will play for NFL's Tampa next season

<p>On Tuesday (February 1), the National Football League (NFL) star&nbsp;Tom&nbsp;Brady&nbsp;dropped a bomb by confirming his retirement from the sport. With this, he has officially brought the curtains down on an illustrious&nbsp;22-season career. The 44-year-old Tampa Bay Buccaneers superstar, widely regarded as the greatest quarterback in history of the sport, t took to his official Instagram handle to share the news with one and all.&nbsp;</p>

<p><strong>Here's what he wrote:</strong></p>

<p><strong>'I feel like the luckiest person in the world'</strong></p>

<p>"I have always believed the sport of football is an 'all-in' proposition -- if a 100% competitive commitment isn't there, you won't succeed, and success is what I love so much about our game. This is difficult for me to write, but here it goes: I am not going to make that competitive commitment anymore. I have loved my NFL career, and now it is time to focus my time and energy on other things that require my attention."</p>

<p>My playing career has been such a thrilling ride, and far beyond my imagination, and full of ups and downs. … I will remember and cherish these memories and re-visit them often. I feel like the luckiest person in the world."</p>

<p>Brady further asserted,&nbsp;"The future is exciting."</p>

This is difficult for me to write, but here it goes: I am not going to make that competitive commitment anymore. I have loved my NFL career, and now it is time to focus my time and energy on other things that require my attention."

From Dwayne Johnson to Michael Phelps: Reactions pour in as NFL legend Tom Brady confirms retirement

<p>Tom&nbsp;Brady&nbsp;says he will "know when the time is right" but for now he taking his future "day-by-day" and hasn't made up his mind about retiring from the National Football League.</p>

<p>Brady&nbsp;said plans for a quiet weekend at home with the family watching the NFL playoffs was shattered when reports came out Saturday that he would retire after 22 seasons and seven Super Bowl rings.</p>

<p>"I was trying to enjoy a nice weekend,"&nbsp;Brady&nbsp;told a US-based SiriusXM podcast 'Let's Go!' "It didn't quite turn out that way because my phone got really busy, but that's just part of being in the situation I'm in."</p>

<p>American sports broadcaster ESPN cited unidentified sources saying that&nbsp;Brady&nbsp;would retire. The report did not say when&nbsp;Brady&nbsp;planned to make an announcement.</p>

<p>Brady&nbsp;reiterated on Monday that he is still mulling over his future.</p>

<p>"Sometimes it takes some time to really evaluate how you feel and what you want to do," he said. "I think when the time's right I'll be ready to make a decision one way or another, just like I said last week.</p>

<p>"I think for me, it's literally day to day. I'm just trying to do the best I can every day, evaluate things as they come, and I'm trying to make a great decision for me and my family."</p>

<p>Asked about the timing of a decision,&nbsp;Brady&nbsp;said: "I don't know. I'll know when the time is right. Like I've always said, I'm very blessed to play as long as I have. As things have gone on in the later parts of my career ... there's a lot of interest in when I'm going to stop playing. I understand that. When I know, I'll know. When I don't know, I don't know.

Tom Brady says he will "know when the time is right" but for now he taking his future "day-by-day" and hasn't made up his mind about retiring from the National Football League.

Tom Brady says he will "know when the time is right" but for now he taking his future "day-by-day" and hasn't made up his mind about retiring from the National Football League. Brady said plans for a quiet weekend at home with the family watching the NFL playoffs was shattered when reports came out Saturday that he would retire after 22 seasons and seven Super Bowl rings. "I was trying to enjoy a nice weekend," Brady told a US-based SiriusXM podcast 'Let's Go!' "It didn't quite turn out that way because my phone got really busy, but that's just part of being in the situation I'm in." American sports broadcaster ESPN cited unidentified sources saying that Brady would retire. The report did not say when Brady planned to make an announcement. Brady reiterated on Monday that he is still mulling over his future. "Sometimes it takes some time to really evaluate how you feel and what you want to do," he said. "I think when the time's right I'll be ready to make a decision one way or another, just like I said last week. "I think for me, it's literally day to day. I'm just trying to do the best I can every day, evaluate things as they come, and I'm trying to make a great decision for me and my family." Asked about the timing of a decision, Brady said: "I don't know. I'll know when the time is right. Like I've always said, I'm very blessed to play as long as I have. As things have gone on in the later parts of my career ... there's a lot of interest in when I'm going to stop playing. I understand that. When I know, I'll know. When I don't know, I don't know. I'm not going to race to some conclusion about that." Brady said he wasn't pleased that his retirement speculation ended up being a distraction from the playoff games on the weekend. "There were some very important games on the weekend," Brady said. "The focus should be on those great games."

'I'll know when the time is right': Tom Brady says he is still mulling over his NFL future

<p>Questions about Tom Brady’s future intensified Saturday after reports surfaced that he planned to retire after 22 seasons in the NFL. His agent declined to put a timetable on such a decision or to confirm the veracity of the reports.</p>

<p>“Without getting into the accuracy or inaccuracy of what’s being reported, Tom will be the only person to express his plans with complete accuracy,” Don Yee, Brady’s agent, said Saturday in a statement. “He knows the realities of the football business and planning calendar as well as anybody, so that should be soon.”</p>

<p>Brady, who once said that he would retire only when his performance started to decline, this season led the league in passing yards (5,316), completions (485) and touchdowns (43) for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Brady, 44, and the Buccaneers lost last week in the divisional round of the playoffs to the Los Angeles Rams, after he nearly led his team to yet another incredible comeback.</p>

<p>Brady is under contract with the Buccaneers through the 2022 season, but the team would get back $16 million of his signing bonus should he retire.</p>

<p>ESPN’s Adam Schefter and Jeff Darlington first reported that Brady would be retiring around 2:30 p.m. Eastern time on Saturday, citing “multiple sources.” Brady’s lifestyle brand, TB12, appeared to confirm the news on its Twitter account minutes later, but it subsequently deleted its post.</p>

<p>At the time of the news breaking, a representative from the Buccaneers said he was unable to confirm Brady’s retirement. Bruce Arians, the team’s head coach, told the Tampa Bay Times that Brady had not informed the organization of his plans to retire.</p>

<p>Adding to the confusion, Brady’s retirement was splashed on the front of NFL.com, which cited its insider reporter Ian Rapoport. The retirement was also heavily covered by the NFL’s official social media accounts.</p>

<p>A league spokesman, Brian McCarthy, meanwhile, said the NFL had not been officially informed that Brady is retiring. The NFL is not only a football league but also a media company competing to report news like any other, two ends that sometimes awkwardly intersect.</p>

<p>Yee’s statement attempted to pause the commotion and, potentially, allow Brady to announce his future plans on his own terms, but the news cycle was already churning. At 4 p.m. Eastern time, Mike Silver reported for Bally Sports that Brady had contacted Buccaneers general manager Jason Licht to tell him he had not made a final decision on retirement. Bay Area news station KRON followed with a report citing Brady’s father, Tom Brady Sr., as saying that his son is not retiring.</p>

<p>ESPN said in a statement that it stood by the reporting of Schefter and Darlington, and Schefter reiterated that position on-air during an appearance on the network during halftime of a telecast of a college basketball game.</p>

<p>Brady’s public comments in the days since Tampa Bay’s season ended had seemed to point to his retirement. On his “Let’s Go!” podcast with Jim Gray last week, he talked about wanting to be more available for his wife, Gisele Bundchen, and three children and said he would make a decision with them about what’s next.</p>

<p>If this is it, so many details of Brady’s career sound apocryphal. His seven championships are more than any franchise has won. He would retire as the NFL’s career leader in touchdown passes, yardage and victories. He was named Super Bowl MVP five times. Only one other quarterback, John Elway, even started in five Super Bowls.</p>

<p>Brady rose to stardom with the New England Patriots, ascending from a sixth-round draft pick in 2000, No. 199 overall, to the most prominent on-field member of an enduring dynasty. But with the Patriots unwilling to sign him to a long-term contract, Brady in March 2020 bolted for the Buccaneers, leaving the only team and head coach he ever played for, Bill Belichick, for one of the NFL’s least successful franchises.</p>

<p>With the Buccaneers, Brady mastered a new offense, adjusted to new teammates and coaches and dominated the league, all while the coronavirus pandemic restricted in-person contact. He won his seventh title, over Kansas City, in February in the Buccaneers’ home stadium.</p>
