Does Tom Brady end his career? Yes. That’s what both NFL Network and ESPN maintain.
On Saturday, ESPN released the information first. Then, the player’s agent issued a press release to explain that it is Brady who will give more precision. The Tampa Bay Times then reported that the quarterback allegedly called the Buccaneers to tell them he hadn’t made up his mind yet. Finally, it was the star’s father who assured the NFL Network that the final decision was not made.
In fact, everything would have gone too fast for the player.
“What I understand and which confirms the initial information is that Tom Brady plans to retire,” journalist Ian Rapoport explained overnight on NFL Network. “I’ve spoken to several people close to him and they think he played his last game. Once you get it all down, it seems more about timing than anything else. Brady is very involved and in control of his brand. It generally produces terrifically well-made ads.
From what I understand, Brady is on vacation, and quite a distance. The fact that the information came out surely frustrated him to no end. Once again, he is someone who controls his image enormously, who controls everything that is produced, everything that revolves around him and everything that is put on social networks. They do a great job. But what’s happening isn’t like Brady. The fact that the Buccaneers haven’t yet been told it’s safe to leave doesn’t paint a good picture. I think Brady is handling everything the best. I’m sure he’s fuming that it got out. However, I think it’s true that he will retire well. “
The words of his agent or the information given to the Tampa Bay Times would therefore be a way of calming things down to prepare for the official announcement.
ESPN adds that it is not known at this time when Brady could make his announcement, but that it will be done so as not to overshadow the playoffs and the Super Bowl. So there might be a bit of a wait.
There is no more.
