Tom Brady has finally retired "for good"

Last year, Brady changed his mind after announcing his retirement. The 45-year-old returned to play another season with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers a month later.

This time, Brady seems determined to stay retired.

"‘Good morning guys. I’ll get to the point right away. 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’d just press record and let you guys know first. I won’t be long-winded. You only get one super-emotional retirement essay and I used mine up last year," Brady said.

He continued:

"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."

Considering his illustrious 23-year career, Brady might end up as an analyst or with a broadcast network. As of now, the seven-time Super Bowl winner seems to be enjoying some downtime with his family.
