EDIT: Timeline below.
1. Darlington & Schefter report Brady is retiring.
2. TB12, Tom’s brand/company, tweet (then later delete) about his retirement.
3. Toms teammates tweet about his retirement.
4. Tom’s agent, dad, Arians, and Licht all say Tom hasn’t decided yet.
5. Ian Rappaport says many sources confirm Tom plans to retire but the pushback is due to timing.
6. Tom announces retirement again in 2023. [Reply]

And sign his paperwork.
This isn't the same situation as before where he verbally retired but never followed through. He's actually retired in the eyes of the NFL. Coming back wouldn't be nearly as easy as it was before. [Reply]

We do know that. The Pats were giving Brady's side hustle wellness business he started with his conman trainer basically free rent near foxbourgh. [Reply]

Where would he go in the NFC, though?
Everyone over there is either already committed to a QB or not in a position to win now even with Brady. The only two I'd think would even be worth it for him to try are the Rams or Commanders. [Reply]

What would the league do to stop it?
Does Tampa own his rights if he comes back? [Reply]
