Will this season be the last one for Tom Brady? Reports are suggesting it will be – though we’ve been down this road before.

NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport reported Sunday that the 2022 season “is expected to be his final season in the NFL”, citing “sources with knowledge of his thinking”. Of course, Brady has fooled us before – he announced back in February that he was retiring, only to come back just 40 days later.

Brady is heading into the final year of his contract with the Bucs, and has a 10-year, $375 broadcast deal with Fox in place once he finally hangs up his cleats.
