Bucs quarterback Tom Brady seems to be enjoying retirement so far. On Monday’s episode of the SiriusXM podcast “Let’s Go! With Tom Brady, Larry Fitzgerald and Jim Gray,” Brady said that he is “super content and happy with how I feel in my decision.”

Brady announced his retirement from football after a storied 22-year career on February 1. He played the first 20 seasons in New England, followed by two seasons in Tampa Bay where he helped the Bucs win Super Bowl LV in 2020. That was Brady’s seventh Super Bowl championship, which is an NFL record.

A week ago on the “Let’s Go!” podcast, Brady opened the door for a possible return to football when he used the phrase “never say never” about potentially un-retiring.

Gray probed Brady about it to a degree.

Gray: “Tom, there’s gonna be a lot of interest in what you do next. You stay close to the fans by doing this program. This is our last show. We won’t be talking to you on a weekly basis until next August. People can follow you on your social media handles, but how are you gonna go about your life? And if somebody sees you out working out because you’re staying in shape that’s going to lead to all kinds of rumors. So what will you be doing next with yourself? And will you stay in shape or are you gonna start running over to eat a few key lime pies?”

Brady:  “You know I love those key lime pies, too. That’s my dessert of choice. So there’ll definitely be a few more of those and I’m super content and happy with how I feel in my decision. All you can do is take it day by day, nothing’s promised for us. I’m gonna do things I really enjoy and spend time with people that I really enjoy spending time with. So the future is bright. I look forward to the opportunities that are ahead and I look forward to speaking with everyone again next year. So I’ve had a great time doing the show. We’ll keep it going and thank you to everyone for their amazing support, thanks for another great NFL football season. And I hope it just keeps getting better and better from here.”

It’s interesting that Brady, who is under contract for the 2022 season, has never used the word “retirement” or “retiring.”

Instead, he has said on two occasions he’s going to take it “day by day.” He also said on his farewell on social media: “I am not going to make that competitive commitment anymore. I have loved my NFL career, and now it’s time to focus my time and energy on other things that require my attention.”

At age 44, Brady became the NFL’s all-time leading passer with 84,520 during the 2021 season. He also led the league in passing yards with 5,316 yards and 43 touchdowns. Both of which were Tampa Bay single-season records. Brady also made his 15th Pro Bowl in his final season in Tampa Bay, which was also a league record.
