If it’s official then we just witnessed the GOAT at his position. No other QB will win 7 SB Rings

Agreed, Brady is the GOAT and his accomplishments are unlikely to be matched. I do feel that going to the Buccaneers and winning a Super Bowl with them without Belichick and the Patriots make his case almost airtight. 

It will certainly be strange to see the NFL next season without Brady and Big Ben adding to the list of QBs like Rivers, Eli, Peyton (etc). It certainly makes me feel old knowing the QBs I grew up with aren’t going to be playing anymore!

it seems TB doesn't want to confirm or deny at this point.

He’s got nothing to confirm or deny. TB said he would take time to decide whether he wants to play or retire. If he’s still undecided then there’s nothing to say. However, it is somewhat odd that his company announced his retirement, unless the post was misinterpreted and was simply a flawed attempt at celebrating his achievements and not a retirement post?

I think Brady is ready to announce but is just being respectful of the game.   He doesn't want to upstage the Conference Championships by saying anything this week.  

Look for his statement to come out Wed or Thurs of next week when it's more quiet in the NFL world.  So after the Superbowl matchup has been set and discussed for a few days.  That timing would give Tampa Bay the whole off-season to plan for his replacement.

Tampa has 20 something free agents and $13 million in cap space. They are down poo creek without a paddle.

This freaking dude is going to wait until around the SB to announce what he’s doing so he can maximize as much attention as he can. 

if that's the case, it would make more sense for him to wait until after the super bowl. with no football to talk about, it would be the tom brady show until the draft.

Whatever he does, it’s going to be about timing, not because he doesn’t know yet.

I think there's some big financial maneuvering behind the scenes with Brady. 

If he waits until the first week in Feb he gets a 15M bonus. 

Also the Bucs may want to wait until June to split the cap hit up into two years.

Brady could also renegotiate his contract to the NFL minimum to give a parting gift for Tampa Bay.  That way the cap hit would be much less.  Brees did that for NO his retirement year.  Brady would likely be able to keep his bonus $$ with a maneuver like that.

      Monroe Freeling’s lovely GF

      With the contract money an OT first rounder makes you can ALWAYS get a new girlfriend.  And probably an upgrade at that.  You only got 2 parents.

      Brother. You are wholly confusing comparing situations and applying actual standards like most other franchises do like simply getting into a playoff series and winning at least 1 or 2 series games with praising. Nobody is praising the Hawks. Nobody is praising the Magic. Nobody here likes those teams. But reality is reality. The Hawks like other franchises have traded players fired coaches etc but they can still win a couple playoff games. How is that not the bare floor for you or anyone else? What are we doing here if it isn't? We've seen eye to eye on many things over the years. But you are in the camp on the Hornets where you are emotionally attached to LaMelo where you feel the need to carry his water like he's got that juice. That's cool that you feel that way. It's your prerogative. But I differ from that viewpoint entirely. If he had that juice we would not have gotten wiped off the court in 2 play in games with 2 different coaching staffs and rosters. if people don't like hearing that well I'm sorry but how the hell is this team ever going to get better and ultimately go anywhere in the postseason if we just blindly pat them on the back for getting their asses whooped before they actually even get into the real playoffs? There seem to be some Bryce Young level standards being applied here. That's wild to me. But to each his own.

      Jeremy Fowler: Panthers draft day intel

      Proctor/Freeling were always the belles of the ball where we were picking. What those two *could* become at OT was far greater than what others could be at their respective positions and I’m glad our FO could see that.
