Tom Brady’s NFL career is over…for real this time.
The seven-time Super Bowl champion shared on Wednesday morning (February 1) that he’s “retiring for good.” He announced the news in a short video he shared on social media:
“Good morning, guys. I’ll get to the point right away. I’m retiring for good,” he said. “I know the process was a pretty big deal last time. So, when I woke up this morning, I figured I’d just press record and let you guys know first so. I won’t be long-winded. You only get one super emotional retirement essay and I used mine up last year.”

After all of that, Brady is now ready to leave football behind for good. He thanked everyone who supported him over the years, saying:
“I really thank you guys so much to everyone single one of you for supporting me. My family, my friends, my teammates, my competitors…I can go on forever. There’s too many. Thank you guys for allowing me to live my absolute dream.”
