NFL Fans react to latest update in Tom Brady-Gisele saga

Tom Brady initially retired this off-season before returning for his 23rd season in the NFL

Tampa Bay Buccaneers v New Orleans Saints

Shortly after the Tampa Bay Buccaneers fell to the Los Angeles Rams in the divisional round of the playoffs last year, Tom Brady called it a career and retired.

Brady left the NFL world stunned as he was set to never play another snap in the league.

40 days into retirement, Brady changed his mind, announcing he would be playing his 23rd season in the league.

While he changed his mind about retiring this off-season, it seems very likely Brady will hang his cleats up at the end of the season. He's been having marital issues and is not around as much during the football season.

Brady signed a 10-year $375 million deal with Fox Sports to be a color commentator whenever he decides to retire. Once he retires from football, he will have less duties with the sport, as he won't be a member of the team anymore.
