Seven-time Super Bowl champion Tom Brady is reportedly retiring after 22 NFL seasons

Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Tom Brady (12) celebrates with the Vince Lombardi Trophy after beating the Kansas City Chiefs in Super Bowl LV at Raymond James Stadium.

Tom Brady is retiring from football after 22 seasons, according to a report.

Brady is expected to make a decision about the upcoming season in the coming weeks. It is not known when Brady will make his retirement public.

According to unnamed sources, Brady's decision to retire had been based on a number of factors, including his family and health. Brady told Jim Gray there is joy in not playing football and spending time.

Brady was the oldest starting quarterback to win a Super Bowl when he was 43 years old.

In the past few weeks, the executives and coaches of the Buccaneers were bracing for Brady's retirement. Brady said there was no rush from the coaching staff and management in deciding whether to return to play.

The sports outlet said Brady probably knew it was his last act in the sport after he left the field following the loss to the Rams. Brady is against the idea of a farewell tour.

He said that he was proud and satisfied with everything he did this year. I have given everything I have this year, last year and the year before that.
