Ever since the Tampa Bay Buccaneers lost to the Los Angeles Rams in the Divisional Round, rumors about Tom Brady's retirement have swirled around. His age and family have been the key factors into his decision, and fans are thinking that this could finally be it for the greatest quarterback of all-time.

One of the many people speculating about Tom Brady's status is Julian Edelman, Brady's former teammate in New England. In a recent podcast, the ex-Patriots quarterback revealed his thoughts on the Buccaneers quarterback potentially retiring. (via NESN)

“It’s gonna have to be really good for him, probably. The team, how it’s going, who’s there, what coordinators are there. He has to feel like he can go out and win it. But this is the most I’ve ever felt like he could probably hang them up, you know what I mean? It wouldn’t surprise me either way.”

Fans have been speculating that Brady would want to go out as a Super Bowl champion, after failing to lead the Buccaneers back to the Super Bowl this season. However, a lot of his offseason talk has been revolving around his relationship to his wife and kids. Considering that Brady is 44 and his kids are entering their teens, there's significant traction to him potentially retiring.

Adding fuel to these flames are recent rumors about Tom Brady's retirement. Some sources reported earlier today that the Buccaneers quarterback will soon announce his retirement from the league. It's unclear whether he'll truly step away from football, but if he does, he'll have already cemented himself as the greatest player in NFL history.
