Tom Brady is sharing some thoughts on his decision to return to football after a short-lived retirement. The Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback said this week that he felt pressure to end his retirement because of NFL free agency. Brady said that he didn’t feel “100 percent committed” to retiring and that free agency pushed him to reconsider his decision. The 44-year-old is signed with Tampa Bay through the 2022 season and hasn’t spoken on his future past this year.
Veteran quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick announced he is retiring after 17 NFL seasons.
