Tom Brady may have just incited the most potent speculation over his retirement. Not one to lose his cool frequently, some of his recent statements could hint at a difficult decision looming in the near future.

With seven Super Bowl titles to his name, Brady would still be the most decorated player in the league if he chose to retire. The QB could soon divulge his thoughts on what the future looks like. But from the looks of it, the future seems to be a touchy topic for Brady.

Tom Brady has been far from the most forthcoming individual with regard to his future. While being coy and evasive are attributes that most athletes share with regard to information that the public should not be privy to, Brady takes it a step further.

In TB12’s case, the QB hasn’t dropped hints or even nudged the NFL world in the direction. So undoubtedly, fans and the media can only speculate about his next move. But after his recent outburst, one can’t help but wonder, is Tom Brady as clueless as the rest of us?

Brady’s podcast ‘Let’s Go!’ with Jim Gray has been a consistent source of information, right from the horse’s mouth. This time, instead of inciting casual discourse about TB12’s future, Gray struck a nerve. Brady’s response to what the future holds sounds far from his reassuring and collected self. He said, “Jim if I knew what I was f***ing going to do I’d have already f***ing done it. Okay? I’m taking it a day at a time. I appreciate you asking. Thank you.” The QB’s statements raised eyebrows and may have propelled retirement rumors.

Brady is antagonized by the chatter surrounding his future

After two decades of unprecedented success in the league, no one would question Brady’s retirement. In fact, a portion of the NFL world would be glad to see the 45-year-old leave and make way for his younger peers. But, the QB’s desire for another Super Bowl title is plain as day. 

Brady’s irritation is understandable to an extent. After a year of ups and downs in his personal and professional life, the persistent needling is irksome. Having fans and even former teammates make predictions is perhaps not the easiest path to navigate. Assuming that the QB has no plan set in stone, TB12’s potential landing spots are in need of someone who can lead them to success. Or maybe Brady will give Tampa Bay another shot.
