Tom Brady Retire

Tom Brady, the quarterback of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, has formally declared his retirement from the National Football League, declaring in an Instagram post on Tuesday that he is “not going to make that competitive commitment anymore.”

“I have always believed the sport of football is an ‘all-in’ proposition — if a 100% competitive commitment isn’t there, you won’t succeed, and success is what I love so much about our game,” Brady, 44, said in a statement.

Brady is widely regarded as the greatest quarterback in NFL history, having won seven Lombardi trophies, the most by a single player, as well as five Super Bowl MVP awards.
