Brady exits the NFL as the most decorated player in league history
Tom Brady is calling it a career once again. This time around, it does seem as if this is the last we'll see of the seven-time Super Bowl champion. Brady proclaimed that he'll be stepping away from the game after 23 seasons on Wednesday a few weeks following Tampa Bay's playoff loss to the Dallas Cowboys to wrap up Super Wild Card Weekend.
"I'll get to the point: I'm retiring for good," Brady said in a post. "Thank you guys for allowing me to live my absolute dream. I wouldn't change a thing."
Of course, this isn't the first time that Brady has walked away from the game. Exactly one year ago from this announcement, the now-45-year-old quarterback initially announced his retirement, but then rescinded that move, calling off his retirement just forty days later saying that his "place is still on the field and not in the stands." Now, it appears as if Brady is finally ready to step off the field and begin a new chapter.
