Seven-time Super Bowl-winning quarterback Tom Brady has announced his retirement from the NFL "for good".

Brady had hinted at a farewell in the wake of Tampa Bay's playoff defeat to the Cowboys, doffing his cap to fans as he exited the field before thanking the Bucs organisation and local media in his post-game press conference. He additionally surpassed Peyton Manning for most game-winning drives of all time as well as featuring in the first regular season game in Germany and snapping his own record for most completions in a campaign. "It says an awful lot about who he is as a man and how he cares about his teammates. He was a self-made man, everybody thought when he left Belichick it would fall apart - no. He did it more than anybody that's ever played the game. He later signed with the Buccaneers in free agency of 2020 before guiding Bruce Arians' team to Super Bowl glory against the Kansas City Chiefs in his first season.

Tom Brady says he is retiring "for good" from football, ending a historic 23-year career during which he won seven Super Bowls and set multiple NFL passing ...

"His imprint on this organization helped take us to the mountaintop," Bucs GM Jason Licht said in a statement. In 2020, Brady joined the Buccaneers and won his seventh Super Bowl. "I think of him walking down the steps at the old Foxboro Stadium, looking like a skinny beanpole with a pizza under his arm -- it's late at night. "He entered the NFL with little to no fanfare and leaves as the most successful player in league history. "Tom Brady was the ultimate winner," Belichick said in a statement. The three-time league MVP passed for 4,694 yards -- third most in the NFL -- and 25 touchdowns this past season, his third with Tampa Bay. "I don't ever believe in the 100-year-old history of the NFL there's been a quarterback of Tom's ilk," Patriots owner Robert Kraft told ESPN's Mike Reiss on Wednesday. "I have a flashback," Kraft told Reiss. More Super Bowl wins came after the 2003 and 2004 seasons. "I know the process was a pretty big deal last time, so when I woke up this morning, I figured I'd just press record and let you guys know first," Brady said in a video on Twitter. Brady informed the Buccaneers of his decision at 6 a.m. You only get one super emotional retirement essay, and I used mine up last year, so really thank you guys so much to every single one of you for supporting me."

Brady prided himself on putting the team before himself, and for that reason he often took team-friendly deals so that the Patriots weren’t strapped for cash and could bring in key players to build out Super Bowl-winning rosters. The first came after the Patriots victory in Super Bowl XXXVI, which was the first of their storied dynasty. He was also Super Bowl MVP after the Buccaneers defeated the Chiefs in Super Bowl LV, which is notable considering those games happened two decades apart yet Brady was still the most important player in each game regardless of age. The most infamous of Super Bowl losses came during the 2007 season. Tom Brady might have seven Super Bowl rings, but he’s played in more than just those games. Tom Brady has officially called it a career, for real this time.

Tom Brady announces retirement from NFL 'for good' after 23 seasons (The Guardian)

The seven-time Super Bowl champion announced on a video posted on social media that he is retiring from NFL.

“I think I’ve been on the record dozens of times saying there’s no quarterback I’d rather have than Tom Brady, and I still feel that way,” Bill Belichick, the coach with whom Brady won six titles in New England, said in 2021. However, Tampa were weakened by injuries and Brady appeared affected by [off-field issues](https://www.theguardian.com/sport/2022/oct/28/tom-brady-and-gisele-bundchen-announce-divorce) as his final season fizzled out.

The New York Post reported the deal The Patriots owner, Robert Kraft, later recalled that Brady introduced himself by saying: “I’m Tom Brady and I’m the best decision this organisation ever made.” He would go on to claim seven Super Bowl titles, three NFL MVP awards and nearly every significant quarterback record in league history. He also holds the NFL record for career passing touchdowns (649) and passing yards (89,214). The 45-year-old’s Tampa Bay Buccaneers had a losing record – the first in Brady’s career as a starter – and only limped into the playoffs because the other teams in the NFC South were even worse. He started as New England’s fourth-string quarterback and slowly worked his way up to become Drew Bledsoe’s back-up. Brady’s ruthless commitment to winning was legendary and it was only in his final season that there were signs his skills had begun to diminish, although even then he passed for 4,694 yards, the third most in the NFL. Other [more obscure statistics](https://ftw.usatoday.com/lists/tom-brady-retires-stats-crazy-nfl) are just as impressive: no other quarterback has played in a Super Bowl past the age of 40 – Brady played in three, winning two; his 35 playoff wins are more than 13 other teams have appeared in; and, remarkably, he has appeared in nearly a fifth of Super Bowls ever played.

Tom Brady's Hall of Fame career has finally come to an end -- for real this time. After the weird retirement cycle that he went through last year, one that.

That came on the heels of reports that Brady wanted to team up with Sean Payton in Miami and finish his career with the Dolphins. We did this song and dance last year when Brady retired, but he went back on that a month later when he announced he would be returning for one more season. With speculation running rampant about a return for one more season, Brady set the record straight by posting a simple message on his social media accounts that announced he was hanging it up for good.

Louis Rams in the Super Bowl that capped the 2001 season and he and New England coach Bill Belichick were well on their way to becoming the most successful coach-QB duo in football history. He is the only player to win more than five Super Bowls and has been MVP of the game five times. He played in one game as a rookie, completing one of three passes for six yards. The movie tells the story of four lifelong friends, played by Lily Tomlin, Jane Fonda, Rita Moreno and Sally Field, who went to a Super Bowl to see Brady play. More Super Bowl wins came after the 2003 and 2004 seasons. “I know the process was a pretty big deal last time, so when I woke up this morning, I figured I’d just press record and let you guys know first,” Brady says in the video.
