Tom Brady is retiring after 22 seasons in the NFL, according to ESPN.

Brady, referred to by many as the Greatest of All Time, arrived in the NFL in 2000 as a sixth-round pick out of Michigan by the New England Patriots. Brady spent 20 seasons with the Patriots, breaking numerous records and collecting 6 Super Bowl rings. He signed with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers ahead of the 2020 season, leading the team to a Super Bowl LV victory.

Brady’s individual honors include 5 Super Bowl MVPs, 3 NFL season MVPs (including the 2017 MVP at age 40), 2-time NFL Offensive Player of the Year, 3-time first-team All-Pro, 15 Pro Bowl selections and the 2009 NFL Comeback Player of the Year.

Brady led the NFL in passing touchdowns 5 times, including the 2021 season. He was the passing yards leader on 4 occasions. He retires as the record-holder of most career QB wins (243), passing attempts (11,317), passing completions (7,263), passing touchdowns (624), passing yards (84,520). His 485 completions this season are also an NFL record.

Update:

Brady’s agent sent a statement to Adam Schefter saying, “Tom will be the only person to express his plans with complete accuracy.”

The TB12 Sports account also deleted a tweet listing Brady’s career accomplishments.

Rick Stroud of the Tampa Bay Times reports Brady has not yet informed the Bucs.
