Reaction from social media and elsewhere after Tom Brady announced his retirement.
Brady won seven Super Bowls and set numerous passing records in an unprecedented 22-year career. He made the announcement in a long post on Instagram. Brady has long stated his desire to spend more time with his wife, supermodel Gisele Bundchen, and three children despite still playing at the top of his game. The 44-year-old Brady goes out after leading the Tampa Bay Buccaneers to a Super Bowl title last season and NFC South championship this season.
NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell
“Tom Brady will be remembered as one of the greatest to ever play in the NFL.
