Tom Brady is retiring after 23 seasons in the NFL… for good, this time.
The seven-time Super Bowl champion took to social media on Wednesday to tell fans the news.
Brady told the camera, “I’ll get to the point right away.
“I’m retiring for good. I know the process was a pretty big deal last time, so when I woke up this morning, I figured I’d just press record and let you guys know first.
“It won’t be long-winded. You only get one super-emotional retirement essay, and I used mine up last year,” referencing his retirement announcement exactly a year ago, on Feb. 1, 2022.
He went on to thank his family, friends, teammates and competitors for their support, sharing: “Thank you guys for allowing me to live my absolute dream. I wouldn’t change a thing.”
Truly grateful on this day. Thank you 🙏🏻❤️ pic.twitter.com/j2s2sezvSS

After his last retirement announcement, Brady ended up returning for one more season with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
His comeback decision was rumoured to be one of the reasons he and Gisele Bündchen split.
However, there seemed to be no bad blood between the pair on Wednesday, as she commented on his post:
