Brady, who was due to be a free agent in the offseason, didn’t look like his unflappable self either, with unusual errors and uncharacteristic mistimings creeping into the Tampa Bay offense.
Brady ends his career as one of the greatest athletes to have ever played football, even though the final year of his career was not easy and he is the owner of more Super Bowls than any individual franchise.
Addressing his family, friends, teammates and competitors, Brady added, “Thank you guys for allowing me to live my absolute dream. I wouldn’t change anything.
If Brady was looking for signs that the game might finally be passing him by, he surely noticed that in this year’s playoffs, the four quarterbacks who led their teams to the NFL’s conference championships are all in their 20s: Kansas City’s Patrick Mahomes (27); Cincinnati’s Joe Burrow (26); Philadelphia’s Jalen Hurts (24) and San Francisco’s Brock Purdy (23).
After 20 years in New England, Brady won a Super Bowl for the first time as a pro in his first season with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. The Los Angeles Rams won the title after they were pipped by a late field goal in the regular season.
