Tom Brady announces his retirement (again), says exit from NFL is ‘for good’ this time – Twin Cities

For the second straight offseason Tom Brady has announced his retirement. This time he says his exit from the NFL is “for good.”

Brady, the seven-time Super Bowl champion, is walking away from pro football after 23 seasons including the final three with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

The 45-year-old superstar made the announcement on social media Wednesday morning.

“Good morning, guys. I’ll get to the point right away,” the emotional Brady said in a video statement. “I’m retiring. For good.”

“I know the process was a pretty big deal last time so when I woke up this morning I figured I would just press record and let you guys know first. I won’t be long-winded, you only get one super emotional video retirement essay and I used mine up last year.

“I thank you guys so much to every single one of you for supporting me. My family, my friends, my teammates, my competitors. I could go on forever, there’s too many. Thank you guys for allowing me to live my absolute dream. I wouldn’t change a thing.

“Love you all.”
