Tom Brady is an American footballer who plays the quarterback position for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in the NFL. Tom Brady is the greatest quarterback of all time, and some say he's the greatest football player of all time. Both arguments are valid, as no one has come close to TB12's dominance on the gridiron, and that's not up for debate. Brady also has a trophy cabinet that can rival other GOATs like Tiger Woods, Michael Jordan, and Roger Federer. Moreover, he is a consummate professional with a clean image.
However, Father Time remains undefeated, and external and internal forces might make the GOAT hang up his cleats this season. As a result, the 2022 NFL season might be the last one we see with Tom Brady, the football player. So let's explore the possibility of the great QB calling it a day after his third season as a member of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
Will Tom Brady retire at the end of the 2022-23 NFL season?
Tom Brady unretired from football after forty days of announcing his retirement. That's right, NFL franchises did not have to worry about a certain blonde-haired demigod raining on their parade for forty days. On the forty-first day, Brady announced his comeback, and normal service returned. Or so we thought.
Rather than Brady getting a farewell tour, it seemed like his world came crashing down. First, Tampa Bay Buccaneers head coach Bruce Arians quit, then Rob Gronkowski announced his second and probably final retirement, and let's not even start with the Antonio Brown debacle. So, as if it couldn't get any worse, Tom and his longtime wife, Gisele Bundchen, finalized their divorce. There was speculation that his retirement would be the final nail in the coffin of their marriage.
You would think that all this would be super hard for a normal person to endure, and after a season like this, Brady would simply ride off into the sunset to enjoy his millions. Speaking of which, he has a 350 million plus contract waiting for him as an analyst on Fox to look forward to. So what's left to achieve? Brady will definitely retire after the 2022-23 NFL season.
Maybe Tom Brady is staying.
Well, maybe a mere mortal would retire based on all of the above, but knowing Brady, he just might flip the script. We all know that Brady wants to retire on his own terms and remains the most ambitious player in the league. Don't be surprised if he returns to the Buccaneers to cap off his career on a high note. How about he rejoins the Patriots and helps bring another ring to New England?
He's single and not searching again, so nothing stops him from immersing himself in game films and other practice routines. Moreover, Brady is unpredictable, and saying that he would retire after all he's been through in the 2022 NFL season would be wholly inaccurate.
How is Tom Brady performing this season?
Tom Brady is having an average season by his super lofty standards, and the fact that his team isn't a Super Bowl favorite tells you all you need to know.
Brady has put up a stat line of 3,332 passing yards, 16 touchdowns, and three interceptions in 12 games played this season.
