Tom Brady to decide on NFL future after spending time with family
Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Tom Brady raised eyes when he refused to commit to playing another season shortly after Sunday's playoff loss to the Los Angeles Rams, and head coach Bruce Arians told reporters Monday the seven-time Super Bowl champion should take "all the time he needs" to make a decision.
Per Rick Stroud of the Tampa Bay Times, Brady addressed his future while speaking with Jim Gray for the latest edition of their "Let's Go" podcast:
Brady led the NFL in multiple passing categories for the 2021 regular season and has long said he wanted to continue playing past his 45th birthday, which he'll celebrate in August. Plans change, though, and it's possible Gisele, his wife, has seen enough or simply wants the future Hall of Famer to spend more time with her and the kids while their children are relatively young.
Brady's update suggests he seriously is considering calling time on what's widely regarded as the greatest career in NFL history even if some believe he could look to leave the Buccaneers to spend at least one season with a different contender.
