If this is the end of the line for Tom Brady, what a ride it was.
The seven-time Super Bowl champion and Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback is reportedly "preparing to retire," according to Jason La Canfora of CBS Sports. An official announcement is expected "shortly."
La Canfora wrote:
"Several sources who are within Brady's inner circle anticipate that he will most likely reveal his future plans in the coming days. Brady is a historian of the game, he understands what it takes for players and teams to reach this point in the season, and would not want to upstage the game itself in any way.
