Allegedly Kraft has allegedly leaked that Brady will allegedly come back to the Patriots for his alleged actual final alleged retirement. So maybe he is giving this moment to the Bucs.
Or maybe rumors are fake and he is cold as ice.
Here's what he should do:

Wait until the 2022 season, come back to Foxboro, sign a one-day contract, drop kick a point-after, and "officially" retire.

This was pretty short nor did he thank anyone at all, including his family. This isn't his hall of fame speech, it's a brief retirement announcement. Some fans need to get over themselves.

Brief?

I don't really care either way, never been too interested in football myself, but statistics always interest me.
His announcement was posted as 8 panels of text, about 3 full pages related to his last two years of playing in Tampa... That's almost 40% of his message. Feels a bit odd to dedicate 40% to less than 10% of his career, and 0% of his message about 91% of his career...
What more do we want?

Brady won 5 Super Bowls and gave us 20 years. Who cares what he said leaving the Bucs.

I meant 5 Super Bowls in New England. My overall point is that TB could say “Rot in Hell, New England. Dunkin’ sucks. You all talk like rejected Departed extras. Go choke on a lobster†for all I care. The fan base got more than it could realistically hope for, yet some still need more.

When he initially moved down to Tampa he said he’ll never live somewhere cold again. Can’t blame him.

Traffic Alert!
All snow removal operations - roads, sidewalks, crosswalks, bus stops, school drop off zones, and bike lanes - in Boston will be suspended effective 11 AM today. All equipment and personnel will be prioritized, mandatory overtime, to clear Boylston Street for the Tom Brady rolling rally on Thursday! Tune up the duck boats!
This parade CAN NOT wait until a more convenient day when the kids aren't supposed to be in school - Tom has a plane to catch to a tropical climate on Friday!!

By Rob

Okay, did a little more looking...
Average is apparently less than 4 years - maybe 3.3 or less. Not surprising that average differs depending on position played - QB and kickers are a lot more protected.
A few articles also point out that the figure is for all players - landmarks in achievement tend to mean longer careers. According to one...
Teams might have 90 players at start of training camp, trimmed to 53-man roster by opening day. Some of those cut stay on practice squads, get picked up as injury replacements....
Rookie Year
By John Costello
Tue, 02/01/2022 - 10:43am
Funny thing is, even though I watched nearly every one of his Michigan games, no one knew who he was his rookie year. (Full disclosure - My friends and I sent emails to each other on how psyched we were when they drafted him. No lie. This texting thing had not caught on yet).
He would hang out in Adams Corner and eat at Blasi's and have some beers. He was living over in Marina Bay. After the first Super Bowl win he had to move because women were randomly yelling up to the building in which he lived stating their sexual objectives with him.
Based on what he has turned into physically and his nutritional m.o., I think his intestines would explode today if Blasi's was still around and he scarfed one of their Chicken Parms. The three beers he had at the Tampa parade last year were testimony to that.
Thanks for the memories. I still can't believe the third world inter island ferry known as The New England Patriots turned into yacht the Sultan of Brunei would be proud of.
Half the Patriots games in the 80s weren’t televised…

…because of the stupid NFL rule that stations couldn’t broadcast the market’s home team if games weren’t sold out. Hell of a way to build a fan base.

Bobby Orr never thought he was the center of the universe, and he had every bit as much influence on the game of hockey as Brady did with football. Tommy Boy can stay in Florida.

I don't understand why locals have so much emotion invested in the guy once he left. As far as I can tell he didn't care about New England or his adoring fans. If anything, he seemed to despise them.
