Tom Brady retires at age 44
January 30, 2022

There had been some significant speculation over the last week that Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Tom Brady might just retire. The rumours were actually reported by Al Michaels of NBC during the NFC Divisional Playoff last weekend between the Buccaneers and Los Angeles Rams. Well, on Saturday the rumours became reality as Brady became the second future Hall of Fame quarterback to retire as he followed Ben Roethlisberger of the Pittsburgh Steelers.
The news of Brady’s retirement is huge because there is a strong possibility he could retire as the National Football League’s most valuable player. This past season, he led the NFL in pass completions (485), passing yards (5316), touchdown passes (43), and yards per game (312.7).

One must realize that Brady is the best football player of all-time. That is remarkable when you consider the fact he was selected 199th overall in the 2000 NFL Draft by the New England Patriots. Among the NFL records that Brady’s name is next to include passing yards (84, 520), touchdown passes (624), pass completions (7263), Super Bowl titles (seven), Pro Bowl selections (15), playoff wins by a player (35), playoff touchdown passes (83), playoff passing yards (12 449), passing yards in a single playoff game (505), and playoff passes completed (1106).
Now the questions will develop on who will take over as the Buccaneers quarterback. The team has several offensive weapons including tight end Rob Gronkowski, as well as wide receivers Mike Evans and Chris Godwin. It will be interesting to see if Tampa Bay will check in on the availability of Deshaun Watson, whose days with the Houston Texans are clearly numbered, Watson could also be headed to Pittsburgh.
