Time has finally won out in Tom vs Time.
Tom Brady is retiring at the age of 44 after 22 decorated seasons in the NFL, ESPN reported on Sunday.
The New York Post reports the future Hall of Fame quarterback finishes his career with seven Super Bowl championships, three MVPs and five Super Bowl MVPs. His quest for one more ring ended last week when his Tampa Bay Buccaneers fell to the Los Angeles Rams in the NFC divisional round of the playoffs.
Brady long talked about playing until he was 45 — his birthday is in August — but spoke earlier this week of his family playing a big role in his decision on whether or not to retire.
"My wife is my biggest supporter," Brady said on his Let's Go! podcast. "It pains her to see me get hit out there, and she deserves what she needs from me as a husband and my kids deserve what they need from me as a dad.
