Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Tom Brady said in his retirement announcement Tuesday that he feels like “the luckiest person in the world” after his record-breaking career, but it’s time to “leave the field of play to the next generation.”
after he said on his radio show"Let's Go! With Tom Brady, Larry Fitzgerald and Jim Gray" that"sometimes it takes some time to really evaluate how you feel, what you want to do." On Saturday, ESPN's Adam Schefter and Jeff Darlington had reported that Brady was planning to retire, and several others had confirmed those plans to CBS Sports.
"I think when the time's right, I'll be ready to make a decision one way or another," Brady said on Monday. Brady acknowledged the back-and-forth in his announcement on Tuesday, saying he's"done a lot of reflecting the past week and have asked myself difficult questions." "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," he said."...My playing career has been such a thrilling ride, and far beyond my imagination, and full of ups and downs. When you're in it every day, you really don't think about any kind of ending. ... I feel like the luckiest person in the world.
The Buccaneers posted a video tribute to Brady soon after his announcement. The video follows Brady's 2020 decision to join the team after two decades with the Patriots, through his practices and eventual Super Bowl win with the team.
