Days After Making NFL History, Tom Brady Drops Subtle Retirement Hint: “That Is When I’m Going to Retire”

Tom Brady is a team man. The Super Bowl winner always considers football a team sport. While reacting to the record of 100,000 passing yards, the legend said he sees all the records from a team point of view. ‘Tom Terrific’ made these remarks in the ‘Let’s Go Podcast’. Meanwhile, he dropped a hint about his retirement.

He spoke about the quality of the game he can offer and added he would call it quits if he was not performing up to the top level. “I always wanted to play at the championship level as a QB. And I always said when I am not, that is when I am going to retire,” the 45 YO said. The GOAT is all clear about his plans.

Tom Brady achieves double delight

TB12’s career is one of the most successful in the history of the NFL. During Sunday’s 16-13 win against the Rams, the NFL GOAT attained a rare record. He became the first player in the league to pass for 100,000 yards (including playoffs). This milestone moment came in the fourth quarter when Brady hit running back Leonard Fournette for a 15-yard gain. 

In addition, Tom Terrific turned in his 55th game-winning drive, breaking a tie with Peyton Manning for most in NFL history. His game-winning has come on a pass to TE Cade Otton, with just nine seconds remaining. It meant TB12 had a double delight in the stunning win. Meanwhile, the GOAT completed 280 passing yards on the day. 

TB12 is all about gratitude

A man of humility, Tom Brady said he achieved the record of 100,000 passing yards only because of the help of his teammates and coaches. In a presser, Brady revealed he could recall the name of each passer he had played with in these years. A gentleman, TB12, thanked them all for playing the team game.
