Tom Brady ends his football career

According to reports from the US sports channel ESPN The National Football League also honored its flagship on Saturday. GOAT (Greatest of all Time), the NFL wrote on social media and the league homepage said: “TB12 leaves with a trophy case full of awards.”

The seven-time Super Bowl champion was eliminated last week with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers against the Los Angeles Rams and left his future open. The ultimate legend The 44-year-old has played football in the NFL since 2000, initially for the New England Patriots until 2019, with whom he won the title six times. The quarterback then moved to Tampa and won his seventh Super Bowl ring in 2021. He was honored as Most Valuable Player (MVP) in the Super Bowl five times. Loud ESPN Brady is taking the step with his health and family in mind. But a possible restructuring of the Buccaneers' squad could also have influenced the move.

Brady himself has not yet commented on the end of his career. He never wanted to make a big fuss about it or even herald a farewell season. Accordingly, the step only seems consistent and logical. In December, when asked when he knew the time to retire had come, Brady replied: "I think I just have to see after each year what the situation looks like for me, personally and professionally." He couldn't imagine to ever not love football.

With Brady, the record man is leaving the NFL. No player won more titles (7), passed more yards (84) or scored more touchdowns (520). In total he was in the Super Bowl final ten times. Who would have thought that was possible when he was drafted in the sixth round in 624 with the number 2000 pick. Still world class The resignation was not necessary for sporting reasons. He showed right to the end that the oldest player in the league still had it. In the main round he had the best values for touchdowns, successful passes, pass attempts and yards thrown. But it's also about what else there is in life. “My children aren’t getting any younger and I want to make sure they get what they need,” Brady always emphasized – and thus hinted at the end of his career.

The NFL will have to do without some stars next season. Star quarterback Ben Roethlisberger also recently ended his career after 18 years. The 39-year-old Pittsburgh Steelers playmaker called it a day after his team was eliminated by the Kansas City Chiefs. Roethlisberger won two Super Bowl titles with the Steelers.
