Brady thanked his wife, supermodel Gisele Bündchen, and his children, saying they were his “inspiration” and “greatest achievement.”
Curiously, Brady’s farewell statement made no mention of the New England Patriots, the club he led to six Super Bowl titles in 20 seasons before leaving for Tampa in March 2020.
However, Patriots owner Robert Kraft issued his own statement, saying it was a “privilege” to watch, and Brady responded on Twitter Tuesday afternoon: “Thank you, patriotic nation. I am extremely grateful. I love you all.’

Brady signed a one-year, $ 25 million contract extension after directing the Bucs to victory in last year’s Super Bowl. The deal included a $ 20 million signing bonus, $ 15 million of which would be paid to him on Friday. So when he retires, Brady will probably save the Bucs $ 15 million, although they may choose to pay his full signing bonus.
Since being selected by the New England Patriots in the sixth round of the NFL 2000 draft, Brady has earned more than $ 292 million in salary for 22 seasons, according to Spotrac. And that doesn’t include the profits from his fitness brand or his numerous approval deals with companies like Subway and Under Armor, let alone his recent foray into indispensable tokens.
Brady and Bucks’ season ended in the division round of the NFL playoffs in January, when they were defeated in Tampa by a goal in the last second by the Los Angeles Rams. The current backup of the team is the infamous 32-year-old Blaine Gabert, so the Bucs are expected to add more potential replacements, either through a free agency or in the NFL draft.
