Questions mount about whether Tom Brady is retiring from the NFL
Questions mounted Saturday about whether Tom Brady — often regarded as the greatest professional football player of all time — had finally retired from the NFL, bringing an end to a remarkable 22-year career that redefined what a quarterback could achieve.
The news was first reported by ESPN, citing anonymous sources, followed by a pair of tweets by the NFL apparently confirming the news.
But in statements to media, Brady's agent, Donald Yee, would not confirm — or deny — the report.
"Without getting into the accuracy or inaccuracy of what's being reported, Tom will be the only person to express his plans with complete accuracy," Yee wrote. "He knows the realities of the football business and planning calendar as well as anybody, so that should be soon."
