'It just feels like the end of a season': Will Tom Brady Retire?

Monday's 31-14 loss to the Cowboys, in which 45-year-old Tom Brady threw the ball 66 times, marked his fourth one-and-done playoff trip in his career.

Brady appeared visibly annoyed during the game and participated in some post-game ceremonies. On his way off the field, he tipped his hat to the audience and kissed his parents, fueling speculation about his future.

Given this season, several clubs, including the Raiders, have been linked to Brady, and after his uncertain retirement plans last season, it's unclear if he'll ever play again.


Brady made it clear following the game that he would not be discussing his future. He simply wanted to relax. He told reporters, "I'm going home. I'm going to get a good night's sleep - as good as I can tonight. No, you know what? I'm not. This game has received a lot of attention. So, I'm just going to take each day as it comes. Truly."

In response to a question about whether he believed his season had been a failure, Brady played it down. "It's a team sport; we lost tonight," he added that he doesn't think about small things like those.



Before giving a lengthy speech of appreciation to the media and leaving the platform, he remarked, "It simply seems like the end of a season."

Brady's future will once again be the subject of speculation with that last statement, but nothing concrete emerged from his postgame remarks.

The Buccaneers were brutally beaten on Monday night, and that seemed to be Brady's main concern.
