NFL: Tom Brady hangs up his uniform?
NFL legend Tom Brady, quarterback for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, is trending due to his possible retirement. Last Saturday the news was revealed that seemed to confirm the divorce of the game after a memorable career.
The experienced 44-year-old player had been the subject of rumors and speculation about his continuity. However, the afternoon of January 29 of this year witnessed a curious statement from the NFL on the social network Twitter.
The official account of the National Football League hinted at the final goodbye of the famous sports figure. After more than 20 years of career, the hypotheses and voices from the hall became reality.
So far, it is not known exactly what reasons led to the decision. However, it is believed that both health and family factors directly influenced the event. A scenario that, for several years, Brady himself was meditating and warning to popular voice.
After the Buccaneers' loss to the Rams, Brady felt it was the perfect time to seriously consider retiring. Even so, it is believed that he preserved a character of impeccable professionalism, making a concrete decision for the end of the postseason.
In the past, he has already stated that his desire is not to overshadow the NFL or be directly honored by his retirement. Therefore, it is important for him and his environment to choose a moment that is appropriate for the magnitude of what it represents.
The sports television network ESPN, in a special report, predicted and supported what happened. Even once the game was over, he dropped the bomb on Brady's retirement. A report that was neither confirmed nor denied by the player's entourage, curiously.
Brady's agent comments on a different version
Beyond the veracity of the report issued by ESPN, the truth was that there was no official statement. Only unofficial information and communications were available, in addition to the word of the NFL.
In the face of media turmoil, Brady's agent, Don Yee, was quick to tell the media what was really going on. His manager called for calm, hoping that the American footballer himself would eventually propose his version.
"Everything that is speculated about Tom's future is understandable. Without falling into diatribes about what has been said, only he will have the last word and will express his plans reliably. He is aware of how this business moves and the calendars, so it will soon." — Don Yee finished.
For Brady, fatherhood and his role as a husband are everything, symbolizing his true successes. So it's no surprise that after 22 fruitful years, it's time to spend some quality time with your family.
As of today, the uncertainty remains red-hot. Indeed, some sources have claimed that he contacted Jason Licht, manager of his current team, indicating that nothing was finalized yet. Others, like its own brand (TB12), remain in the shuffle.
