Future Hall of Fame quarterback and seven-time Super Bowl winner Tom Brady officially announced his retirement on Tuesday, walking away from the gridiron at the top of his game after his 22nd season in the NFL.
According to Forbes, the seemingly ageless footballer earned $293 million in salary with the New England Patriots and Tampa Bay Buccaneers – and an additional $160 million in endorsement contracts.
Tom Brady toyed with playing an additional year and was given plenty of financial incentive to do so. In the end, he decided to retire. Based on his statement released via Instagram, the quarterback has decided to pursue something that all the money in the world could never buy – time with his family.
