Tom Brady has been around for more than a while now. His career’s longevity has seen the emergence and retirement of those far younger than him. As someone who knows Brady better than most others, it’s unsurprising to hear what Rob Gronkowski said about his former QB and friend. TB12’s career has spanned over two decades. One of the QBs he’s played against (Brock Purdy) was probably in diapers when Brady got drafted in the year 2000.

The quarterback has seen players and staff come and go. He’s witnessed changes in the way the game is played. After winning seven Super Bowl titles, there’s not much left on his to-do list apart from breaking his own record. Gronk’s statement about Brady may give the NFL world some insight into how Brady is still persevering.

The former TE said that Brady can break any player down and “talk football like no other.” He also added every supportive statement, “That dude’s a beast. He can go forever.” Gronk’s sentiments about Brady’s career longevity are wholesome. He is the definition of a supportive friend. But after multiple people expressing concern over Brady’s age, is it time for the QB to move to his second career off the field?

Brady and retirement are two words that are so close and yet so far apart

Gronk’s quip about Brady playing “forever” does not veer far from reality. Despite being 45 years old, Brady’s words and actions seem to show no indications of retirement. In October, he announced his split from now ex-wife, Gisele Bündchen. The reported cause of the split is Brady’s return to the game after his brief retirement stint earlier this year.

Apart from Bündchen’s concerns, Brady’s father is also worried about his son’s inability to let go of the sport he passionately loves. Tom Brady has proven time and again that he is the most accomplished player in the league. There’s no doubt he will excel in his second career as an analyst. But the timeline of his current career hasn’t come to a close. Fans have been asking this question for a while, and they may have to be patient for a while longer. When will Tom Brady retire? At this point, the assumption that the QB himself doesn’t know is a safe bet. Perhaps an eighth Super Bowl victory will pave the way to Brady’s retirement. But for that, the QB and his squad will have to pick up the slack and fight for what matters most to them.
