Tom Brady Just Issued A Career Announcement Amid Retirement Questions

Tom Brady has finally spoken out about whether he will retire from professional football, just a few days after football insiders were contemplating whether he would quit the NFL mid-season!

The 45-year-old Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback has been hitting the headlines for so many reasons these days; in particular, his ongoing relationship troubles with Gisele Bündchen, 42, his wife of 13 years, and his behavior both on and off the football field. But now he has finally revealed whether or not he intends to retire again – and make it a little more permanent than his 40-day retirement which happened earlier this year – and his answer might come as a surprise to fans!

The seven-time Super Bowl champ addressed his potential retirement during a press conference on October 20th, which can be seen in a video clip on the Tampa Bay Buccaneers Instagram account. He said: “I love the sport, I love the teammates, and I want to go do a good job for this team like I always have.”

“So, no retirement in my future,” he added. We guess it can’t get any clearer than that – so does this mean that Tom and Gisele’s divorce is going full steam ahead?!

There were mixed reactions in the comments section, with many fans not being shy about mentioning that Tom’s dedication to the sport has come at a cost; i.e., his marriage!

“And he only had to ruin his family for it,” one fan wrote. “The straw that broke Gisele’s back,” commented another. “Enough just retire. Try to salvage what’s left of your marriage,” suggested another fan. “Is this surprising? He gave up his family, he has nothing else to do but play football,” said another fan, followed by three crying laughing emojis. “Yo Tom was it worth losing your entire family?” asked another.

If you’ll recall, the NFL star and the Brazilian supermodel have hired their own lawyers and are heading for divorce, which reportedly has a lot to do with his decision to take himself out of retirement and return to professional football. “Gisele was not happy when Tom un-retired from the NFL after such a short time. There is tension between them,” a source told Us Weekly in September.

Although that source said that Tom is “doing everything he can to make it up” to Gisele, adding that “they’re working through things and trying to come out the other side,” another source more recently told RadarOnline: “Tom’s no longer thinking about a reconciliation. His football buddies are telling him Gisele is too much trouble. They want him to rejoin the dating pool and go clubbing with them!”
