After being practically forced to retire in February, Tom Brady announced earlier this week that he would return to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers for the 2022 NFL season.
“He was announcing his retirement before he retired,” Tom Brady Sr. said on the podcast. “You know, the media reported. He wasn’t ready to make a decision and didn’t make a decision, but [Adam] Shefter and [Jeff] Darlington made it a fact. You know, he didn’t do anything. Decide on that.”
Brady Sr. said that after Brady retires, he has “time to think with his family.”
Brady Sr. went on to say, “Everyone agrees that this route is the best for the Brady family.” It took a while to resolve this issue. I mean, it’s in a kind of unfamiliar territory. So if people think he’s done wrong, hey, we’re welcome. The world. Not many people come to this decision at the age of 44 and 45. “
Last season, Brady threw for a career-high 5,316 passing yards with 43 touchdowns and 12 interceptions, leading the Bucks to a 13-4 record and the NFC South crown. After defeating the Philadelphia Eagles in the opening round of the playoffs, the Bucks fell to the final Super Bowl champions Los Angeles Rams in the divisional round.
“There is no place for the joy he gets on a 100-yard football field,” said Brady Sr.
