Tom Brady's final season in the NFL was a tough one for him personally, both on and off-the-field.
Brady returned for a final season in 2022, his 23rd year in the league, after initially announcing his retirement before u-turning on that decision just 40 days later. After an impressive 2021 season, Brady admitted he could not yet walk away from the game and insinuated he'd play for another year, after signing a monster deal with FOX Sports to become an analyst.
And when he announced his return and signed a one-year extension to remain with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Brady had a clause in his contract that meant he did not practice with the team on Wednesday's, taking a 'veteran's rest day'. Brady would take those days to be with his family, considering he was going through a very public divorce in separating with his wife of 13 years, Gisele Bundchen.
