Tom Brady is officially walking away from football.
Of course, the world already knew that, after the news about his retirement was first leaked over the weekend. Sources quickly came out after that reveal and claimed the report was premature. But now it’s for real.

On Tuesday morning, the 44-year-old star quarterback confirmed he’s walking away from the NFL in an Instagram post containing a long message about his decision. In the post, he shared profuse thanks to all of his teammates and coaches, as well as his family, including supermodel wife Gisele Bündchen.
Explaining that football is a sport in which one must be fully committed, the University of Michigan alum explained he could no longer compete at that level any more:
He then thanked his teammates on the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, with whom he played for the last two seasons of his career:
Powerful!
Brady also wrote a heartwarming passage specifically meant for Gisele, too. In it, he showed gratitude to her for supporting his career and their family for so many demanding years:
Love it!
There’s just one interesting part of this announcement… Or, rather, one interesting thing that isn’t a part of this announcement. Brady spent the first 20 years of his career playing QB for the New England Patriots and head coach Bill Belichick. Of course, the Pats had TONS of success with Brady and Belichick, including six (!) Super Bowl victories during their incredible run through pro football.
And yet neither Belichick nor the Patriots are EVER mentioned in the long retirement announcement! Like, not even once. WTF??
Seriously, take a look for yourself (below):
Wow!
Congrats to Tom
