After a report from ESPN’s Adam Schefter and Jeff Darlington broke that Bucs quarterback Tom Brady was retiring, pandemonium has broken loose on social media. According to Tom Brady Sr., the future Hall of Famer’s dad, Brady hasn’t made a decision.

That statement was reciprocated by the Bucs, including by head coach Bruce Arians and GM Jason Licht, through multiple sources. PewterReport.com was told by team officials that Brady has not communicated a decision about his future. The Athletic’s Jeff Howe reported that Brady called the Bucs on Saturday afternoon. Howe said Brady told the Bucs he is “not even close” to making a decision about his future.

So what is true and what isn’t? In all likelihood, Brady is still very likely to announce his retirement in the coming days. NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport clarified that these reports may just be a timing issue for Brady. The Pro Bowler likely wants to articulate his own future, in his own words, in his own time.

Keep in mind, Schefter, Rapoport and Darlington being wrong on a report of this magnitude would be unprecedented. This is the biggest story of their careers in some ways. It’s extremely unlikely that they would report Brady’s pending retirement without being certain. After all, the Bucs star quarterback recently made it clear how much he wants to spend more time with family. Brady has passions outside of football. Perhaps he believes it’s time to pursue those.

But for a little while, Bucs fans will cling to a sliver of hope. Perhaps Brady has a change of heart in the coming days/weeks. But more than likely, the time has come for the greatest football career of all time to come to a close.
