Questions about the future of the 44-year-old began the moment he left the field, and quarterback Brady said he “did not think much.”
“We just take it every day and see where we are,” he added.
Brady repeated the decision “not in a hurry”, but said his wife Gisele Bundchen and his children would be central to his choice.
“The biggest difference I’m getting older now is that I also have kids. I also care a lot about them,” Brady told Jim Gray.
“They were my biggest supporters. My wife is my biggest supporter, it hurts her to see me hit there.
“She deserves what I need as a husband, and my children deserve what I need as a dad.”
Family first
Despite the tragic end, it was yet another great season for the evergreen Brady, who threw the highest NFL season’s highest 5,316 yards in his career to pass the 5,000-yard mark for the second time in his career.
He also led the NFL 43 in a regular season touchdown pass, finishing second behind Green Bay Packers’ Aaron Rodgers in a quarterback rating (QBR) with a 68.1 score.
However, Brady argued that such a campaign would not have been possible without his family.
“I will spend some time with them and give them what they need, because they really give me what I need for the last 6 months to do what I like. “Because he did it,” Brady said.
“I said this a few years ago, it’s all about relationships-it’s not always what I want, it’s what we want as a family. I spend a lot of time with them. I’m going to spend time and understand what’s going on in the future.
“Playing soccer is a lot of fun. I love it. But not playing soccer is still a great pleasure for me. I can see my kids grow and grow as they get older. increase.”
“Championship level”
After spending 20 years winning six Super Bowls at the New England Patriots and establishing a dominant dynasty with Bill Belichick, Brady signed with the Buccaneers in 2020.
He then claimed a seventh Super Bowl Ring during his first season in Florida, emphasizing another year’s accusation that it was “done” at the top level. Brady claims to date back to 2015.
Retirement will come when Brady himself learns that he can no longer play at that “championship level”.
“Every year, we need to make sure we can commit to what the team really needs, which is very important to me,” Brady said.
“The team isn’t worthy of my best. If I feel I’m not committed to it, or if I can’t play at the championship level, I need to give someone else a chance to play.
“I see. It will be a long time before the next football season begins. I really have to understand them. That’s probably natural for everyone.”
