Tom Brady has written to the NFL to confirm his decision to retire, ending any speculation he could look to return once again.
Brady emotionally announced his retirement at the end of January, declaring he was done with playing. His retirement came a year after he initially walked away from the sport - only to return a month later for one final season.
The Tampa Bay Buccaneers had a pretty poor campaign last time out, losing to the Dallas Cowboys in the Wild Card round - leading to many believing he would continue playing in the NFL but look to leave for a new team in free agency.
