After a retirement rumor went super viral on Saturday, Tom Brady is making his first public comments to address the matter.
On Monday, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers QB addressed the reports that he’s set to retire from the NFL after 22 seasons on his “Let’s Go” podcast.
“It was a good week for me. I’m just still going through the process that I said I was going through,” Brady said, per Zack Cox. “I think when the time’s right, I’ll be ready to make a decision one way or another.”
Brady added that he understood the current media landscape and people wanting to get ahead of the news.
“We’re in such an era of information and people want to be in front of the news often. I totally understand that. I understand that’s the environment we’re in. I think for me, it’s just literally day to day with me,” Brady said, per Adam Schefter.
