No Rush: Tom Brady Says His Family Will Be Key on Future NFL Decisions

Now that the Tampa Bay Buccaneers 2021 season is over, there have been questions about Bucs quarterback Tom Brady’s future.

The Bucs were defeated by the Los Angeles Rams on Sunday (30-27) and now the question is, what’s next.

According to Yahoo Sports,

On Monday, he provided a deeper look into his decision-making process while speaking with Jim Gray on the “Let’s Go” podcast. He made some compelling points in favor of shutting things down, primarily involving his family. 

“I said this a few years ago, it’s what relationships are all about,” Brady said, per the Tampa Bay Times. “It’s not always what I want. It’s what we want as a family. And I’m gonna spend a lot of time with them and figure out in the future what’s next.”

That adds up to a boiler-plate response for any high-profile athlete being asked about retirement. But a visceral look at his wife Gisele Bundchen’s gameday experience offers more insight into his and his family’s thought process.

“It pains her to see me get hit out there,” Brady continued. “And she deserves what she needs from me as a husband, and my kids deserve what they need from me as a dad.”

I personally believe Tom Brady will be back for one more season. I think Brady and his Family will gave his TB12 fans the farewell tour Brady deserves. Brady has mentioned several times that life after football and Fatherhood is important to him and his future NFL plans.
