Even though he was coming off one of the best seasons in his incredible career, Tom Brady decided to retire after 22 years in the NFL. The fact that it was a surprise despite him being 44 years old speaks volumes of how great he was on the field.
It seemed like Brady could've played for an extra couple of seasons and still perform at an MVP level. That unprecedented durability was just one of many reasons why he was able to put together such a legendary career.
Fortunately for those who'll miss him, a recent report claims that maybe it won't be long before we get to hear from him again. This time, however, he'd join the likes of Tony Romo, Drew Brees, and the Manning brothers in the broadcasting world.

Brady Wants To Focus His Attention On Other Things
The legendary gunslinger claimed that he wasn't ready to make a full commitment to football anymore. Therefore, he'd focus his attention on his family and different endeavors in the coming months:
"This is difficult for me to write, but here it goes: I am not going to make that competitive commitment anymore. I have loved my NFL career, and now it is time to focus my time and energy on other things that require my attention," Brady wrote in his retirement letter.
While it's unclear whether Brady will join the booth and share his insights and input with the public, you better believe you haven't heard the last of him.
