By Mark Powell
Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Tom Brady has retired from football, per Adam Schefter and Jeff Darlington of ESPN.
It was rumored an announcement was near on Friday night by Jason La Canfora of CBS Sports.
Brady retires at 44 years old after 22 incredible NFL seasons. He won seven Super Bowls, the most of any quarterback, and more than any other franchise. TB12’s long line of accomplishments cannot be overstated.

Brady has been a model of consistency for over two decades. The GOAT is the all-time passing leader and passing touchdowns leader. He’s also a three-time MVP in his own right.
Tom Brady retired?
Yes, Brady retired after 22 seasons on Saturday afternoon. A decision had been rumored for the last week, as at 44 years old, Brady showed some uncertainty as to if he would return to the gridiron next season. Brady is ready to put family first.
Despite another excellent season, Brady’s Buccaneers lost in the Divisional Playoff round to the Los Angeles Rams. In that game, Brady completed just over 55 percent of his passes for one touchdown and an interception.
At the time, very few outside of Brady knew it would be his last official test on an NFL field.

The Greatest Of All Time. Thank you for letting my life be filled with Super Bowls. Best career of any athlete in any Sport.
Legend.
There were plenty more where that came from.
Brady’s impact could be felt league-wide, far beyond the fan circles of New England and South Florida. He’ll go down as the greatest quarterback in the history of the league, and left little doubt as to that fact.
