Tom Brady’s retirement situation was awkward for a few days.
ESPN’s Adam Schefter and Jeff Darlington reported on a Saturday afternoon that the 44-year-old was planning to retire after 22 years in the league. The NFL world quickly responded with their congratulations and appreciation for Brady.
But, reports quickly surfaced saying that Brady hasn’t made a decision yet. NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport was told by sources that the pushback was more focused on the timing of the news, not his decision. Brady’s agent, Don Yee, reached out to Sports Illustrated’s Albert Breer with a text on this situation.
