Tom Brady has taken to social media to announce he’s retiring again. This time he means it and is gone “for good.”
He walked away after the 2021 season but turned around a month later and reversed that to “unretire,” as Breitbart News reported.
On Wednesday the 45-year-old said he was done and was drawing down the curtain on a stellar career, the owner of numerous passing records in an unprecedented 23-year career.
“Good morning guys, I’ll get to the point right away. I’m retiring for good,” Brady said on Twitter.
“I know the process was a pretty big deal last time so when I woke up this morning I figured I 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.”
The NFL great briefly retired after last season only to return to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers for one more season.
Brady has won three NFL MVP awards, has been a first-team All-Pro three times and was selected to the Pro Bowl 15 times.
Brady and model Gisele Bündchen finalized their divorce this past fall, during the Bucs’ season. It ended a 13-year marriage between two superstars who respectively reached the pinnacles of football and fashion.

It was announced last year that when Brady retires from playing, he would join Fox Sports as a television analyst in a 10-year, $375 million deal, AP reports.
