Bruce Arians says Tom Brady hasn't informed Bucs about a retirement decision

Rick Stroud of Tampa Bay Times also tweeted that Brady has informed Buccaneers general manager Jason Licht that his mind is still not made up.

ESPN's Adam Schefter, who reported the retirement news along with Jeff Darlington, tweeted a statement Saturday afternoon from Brady's agent, Don Yee.

"I understand the advance speculation about Tom's future," Yee wrote. "Without getting into the accuracy or inaccuracy of what's being reported, Tom will be the only person to express his plans with complete accuracy. He knows the realities of the football business and planning calendar as well as anybody, so that should be soon."

Brady, 44, told the Wall Street Journal in September that he'd "definitely" play through the 2022 season. But speculation about his potential retirement began stirring earlier this month with reports that he was suddenly "noncommittal" about coming back. After a postseason loss to the Los Angeles Rams, Brady appeared even closer to retirement when he spoke on a podcast.

Brady owns several NFL records, including the all-time marks for passing yards, passing touchdowns, wins and Super Bowl victories.
