News broke out on Saturday that Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Tom Brady has reportedly elected to retire from the NFL, although this may not be the case after all.

ESPN’s Adam Schefter and Jeff Darlington reported on Saturday that Brady has opted to call it a career. The seven-time Super Bowl-winning quarterback reportedly gave much thought over the week as to whether he should return to the Buccaneers for the 2022 campaign, and he has now decided to retire, with one of the reasons being his health.

However, there is now rampant speculation that the longtime quarterback has not yet made a decision on this matter. Don Yee, Tom Brady’s agent, noted later in the day that the three-time NFL MVP winner “will be the only person to express his plans with complete accuracy.”

To add to the drama, the TB12 Sports Twitter account has now deleted its farewell post.

To top it all off, Brady has reportedly notified Buccaneers general manager Jason Licht that he has not yet made a call on his plans for the 2022 season. Licht is reportedly “waiting for a definitive answer” on this matter.

As Yee noted, Brady will have the final say as to whether he aims to return next season. While the tributes and farewell posts have begun to come in over the day, it seems that Brady’s official announcement on whether he plans to retire may not come anytime soon.
