All indications are Tom Brady will retire from the NFL following 22 seasons, but nothing is official from the quarterback.
Brady discussed his future on his Let’s Go! podcast last week and it seemed like retirement certainly was on the table.
Obviously his family is a major reason why, but appearing on The Greg Hill Show Monday morning, ESPN’s Seth Wickersham explained that isn’t the only reason.
“The last two months of the season were just different, and I heard about it,” he said. “Obviously, Jeff Darlington and Adam Schefter heard about it. It just seemed like that he was more interested in — he started to get more interested — in some of the things that he had started to create this season that really had nothing to do with football, most obviously the Brady Brand. I think when Adam and Jeff had that report, I think a week ago, that he was noncommittal towards returning, I think that was a big tell.”
