Tom Brady has offered what will probably stand as the definitive public response to retirement questions, at least until he makes a decision on playing in 2023.
In his weekly “Let’s Go!” podcast, Brady was asked by host Jim Gray about his plans for 2023.
The Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback offered a very blunt response, indicating that he genuinely does not know yet.
Tom Brady to Jim Gray on his Let's Go! podcast about whether he will play in 2023. “If I knew what I was going to f—ing do I would’ve already f—ing done it. I’m taking it a day at a time.
"I appreciate you asking. Thank you.''— Rick Stroud (@NFLSTROUD) January 23, 2023
“If I knew what I was going to f—ing do I would’ve already f—ing done it. I’m taking it a day at a time,” Brady said, via Rick Stroud of the Tampa Bay Times.
Brady had to know the question was coming. People have been reading into his public comments, particularly what he said following the Buccaneers’ playoff elimination, for any hidden signals about his future.
Those who have had the chance to ask Brady about his future have come away with the impression that he has yet to make up his mind. Brady’s remarks effectively convey that, albeit in a more profane fashion.
