Tom Brady has had so much success during his career that he’s an easy target. So when reports circulated that he was planning to retire this offseason, NFL fans couldn’t help but crack jokes at the expense of the former New England Patriots and Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback.
Brady’s agent Don Yee hasn’t openly refuted the quarterback’s decision. But he also didn’t confirm it. Brady also reportedly called Buccaneers GM Jason Licht to tell him he had not made a final decision.
Alas, when ESPN’s Adam Schefter and Jeff Darlington and NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport reported Brady’s career was over, the Twitter world had a field day.
