Tom Brady, the seven-time Super Bowl champion, remained coy on his future following the Tampa Bay Buccaneers’ 31-14 loss to the Dallas Cowboys in the NFL’s Wild Card playoffs on Monday. When asked about what he wanted to do next, Brady told reporters he was going to go home and get a good night’s sleep.
The quarterback had taken some hits online for what appeared to be a “dirty move” during the game. USA Today called it a “blatantly dirty play,” and the Sporting News reported that the Buccaneers were penalized for unnecessary roughness on the play. Brady had slid into Cowboys safety Malik Hooker from behind in a tripping maneuver considered a no-no by the NFL. The outlet suggested that the irresponsible tackle attempt may have been a result of frustration because the Buccaneers were already losing 24-0 at that point.
When asked about his future plans, Brady said, “It’s just been a lot of focus on this game so, it’s just going to be one day at a time, truly.” In February 2022, the 45-year-old announced he was retiring from the NFL before changing his mind several weeks later and announcing he was returning for a 23rd season.
In December, Brady was asked jokingly if he would retire and then unretire if tight end Rob Gronkowski – who has retired – came back. Brady did not answer the question directly, but it appears that he is still undecided about his future.
