Buccaneers quarterback Tom Brady discussed a number of topics during a recent sit-down with “Variety.” Brady told the entertainment magazine that he doesn’t know when he’ll retire officially, but he knows the he doesn’t have “five years left.”
During a wide-ranging interview in May with Ramin Setoodeh of Variety, Brady said he doesn’t have a set plan for when he might retire but noted he’s “very close to the end.”
“I know, I know. I would have preferred to un-retire in July if I wanted to play,” he said. “But I couldn’t. If I said I’m not playing, they’d make plans. So I felt there was a lot of pressure to make a decision quickly. And then ultimately, I just decided, ‘Yes, let’s do it.’ And once I said that, it was like — OK, here we go.”
