Was Tom Brady’s NFL team left in the dark when a report about the quarterback’s retirement plans was published? That’s how it seems.
ESPN’s Adam Schefter and Jeff Darlington reported on Saturday that Brady decided to retire. However, nothing official had been announced, and Bucs reporter Rick Stroud spoke with Bruce Arians, who said Brady’s agent hadn’t even informed the team of his plans.
Meanwhile, TB12, which is Brady’s health and fitness company, made an official “thank you” announcement.
The Bucs not having heard from Brady about his retirement led some to wonder whether ESPN’s report was untrue. But the tweet from TB12 coupled with some of the other goodbyes led people to believe Brady was indeed walking away.
