Tom Brady's Agent Responds to Retirement Rumor; Bucs Reportedly Not Told of Decision

Tom Brady's reported retirement is causing a firestorm of confusion and speculation.

ESPN's Adam Schefter and Jeff Darlington first reported Brady will retire after a 22-year NFL career.

Brady's agent, Don Yee, issued a statement to Schefter calling the report "advance speculation" and that his client "will be the only person to express his plans with complete accuracy" at some point.

In a text to The MMQB's Albert Breer, Tampa Bay Buccaneers head coach Bruce Arians said he hasn't heard anything from Brady at this point.

Breer noted that "other key people" with the Bucs also haven't been made aware of any decisions involving Brady.
