NFL legend Tom Brady announced his retirement in an emotional video. After the 45-year-old quarterback failed in the playoffs with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, there was already much speculation about a retirement.
Football legend Tom Brady announced his retirement in a video on Instagram. The quarterback, who failed in the playoffs with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in January, said goodbye to his team and his fans with brief but emotional words: “Hey guys, I want to get straight to the point. I’m quitting.” , he said. He thanked him for being able to live his absolute dream. Then his voice faltered.
Brady had already declared his incomparable career with a total of seven victories in the Super Bowl over last season. 40 days later, the now 45-year-old athlete changed his mind and decided to play for the Buccaneers for another year. Now he stressed that his decision was final.
Recently there has always been speculation about Tom Brady
After a total of 23 years in the best football league in the world, it should be over. “I know it was a pretty big deal last time,” Brady said. He had obviously found a spot on the beach for his video message, and there was a strong wind in the background.
US media had recently speculated about the end of his career, but a change to another team also seemed possible. He is now denied the hoped-for eighth Super Bowl triumph, but his seven rings for six wins with the New England Patriots and one with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in February 2021 are already a record and will remain so for years to come – no one else still active professional in the NFL comes to more than three.
