Seven-time Super Bowl winner Tom Brady has announced his retirement from the NFL “for good.”
The 45-year-old confirmed the news in a short video on social media after initially announcing his retirement on February 1 last year before retracting his decision to return for his 23rd season after just 40 days.
“Good morning, folks,” Brady said, “I’ll get to the point right away. I’m retiring. For goodness sake.”
“I know the process was a pretty big deal last time, so when I got up this morning, I thought I’d hit record and let you guys know first.

“It won’t be long, you’ll only have one passionate retirement essay and I used mine last year.
“Thank you guys so much, to each and every one of you for supporting me.
“My family, my friends, my teammates, my rivals, I could go on forever, there’s so much.
“Thank you guys for letting me live my absolute dream and wouldn’t change a thing.
“I love you all.”

Brady has hung his cleats as a seven-time Super Bowl champion, five-time Super Bowl MVP, three-time league MVP, 15-time Pro Bowler, 3-time First-Team All-Pro selection and the NFL’s all-time leader in passing yards (89,214) ), passing touchdowns (649), quarterbacks (251), and pass completions (7,753).
His senior year ended with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers losing a 31-14 defeat to the Dallas Cowboys in the Wild Card Round of the playoffs.
Brady could be ready to head into the TV booth having previously agreed a 10-year, £375m deal to become a lead NFL analyst for Fox Sports once he retires.
Upon reversing his original decision to retire, Brady would go on to fulfill his playing ambitions at the age of 45, while also becoming the first player to reach 85,000 yards in league history and the first 100,000 yards in the regular season and postseason combined. In addition, he surpassed Peyton Manning for the most game-winning runs of all time as well as appearing in Germany’s first regular season game and broke his own record for most completions in a campaign.
He finished his final regular season campaign 490 of 733 passes (66.8 percent) for 4,694 yards (third in the league) and 25 touchdowns to nine interceptions.
Brady won six Super Bowl rings and 17 AFC titles in 20 seasons as part of Bill Belichick’s New England Patriots dynasty team best known as the 199th pick from Michigan in the 2000 NFL Draft.
