While his longtime teammate and All-Pro tight end Rob Gronkowski is doing his best to convince skeptics that he is indeed “done with football” for good, future Hall-of-Fame quarterback Tom Brady still seems to be unsure, at best, how much longer his playing career will last.
Brady retired on Feb. 1, only to un-retire approximately six weeks later. “TB12” will turn 45 in three weeks and is entering his 23rd NFL season this fall.
In May, he was interviewed by Ramin Setoodeh of Variety magazine on a host of topics and the article was released on Thursday. In the interview, Brady said while he does not have a plan yet for when he might retire, he added that he’s “very close to the end.”
“I really don’t (know when I’ll be done playing),” Brady said. “I would say it’s year to year: Could this be my last year? Absolutely. Could I change my mind? Absolutely. I’ve realized I don’t have five years left. I want to do it my way. I want to give it everything I got and see where I’m at. My body feels really good. I’ve had a lot of traumatic injuries over the years, but if things go really smoothly and we win, that’d be great.”
Regarding his initial retirement, Brady said that he made the decision “in the moment” and he “felt it was the right thing for the team to let the Bucs know.” He also told Setoodeh that he would have preferred to un-retire in July, rather than March.
Tampa Bay’s training camp report date for veteran players is July 26.
