As recently as 2019, he was earning $12 million annually off the field, a figure that has nearly quadrupled since thanks to lucrative partnerships with brands like Fanatics, Hertz, Subway and Under Armour.

Shortly before Tom Brady announced his retirement, his supermodel ex-wife was at work.

And he might have been thinking about how he’d given everything he had to a vocation, only to reach the end and wonder whether everything was enough or too much. He might have been thinking about how he’d gone to work for 23 painful, impossible years, building a legacy, setting an example, leaving it all out on the field, winning like nobody had ever won, and also losing, because nobody can win everything all the time. But I think most of us can imagine what kinds of things he might have been feeling as he made an Instagram post promising not to get emotional and then getting emotional nonetheless. Gisele’s posting was a message of pleasant remove, the sort of generically warm sentiments usually reserved for a graduation card signed by a distant aunt. Note how he’d included a few images of Gisele in his Instagram stories, but subtle ones: images of Gisele from behind, with her arms slung around their children.

Of course, it’s possible to point the finger at Brady for this too. Some fans rejoiced at the news that Brady’s reign was finally over, others took a step back and gave the greatest quarterback of all-time his flowers. Brady will forever be remembered as the greatest New England Patriots player to ever put on the team’s uniform.

Brady claims he is done for good, but it is unclear what that will mean for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, the Fox broadcast booth and other interested parties.

The Buccaneers sneaked into a divisional title and an appearance in the playoffs despite a losing record this season. Whatever Tampa Bay decides, Brady will linger on the team’s balance sheet. Does Blaine Gabbert, the team’s backup quarterback, get a promotion, or will the team seek a replacement like Jimmy Garoppolo, who is set to enter free agency after six seasons with the San Francisco 49ers? The Buccaneers are already $55 million over the salary cap, according to Brady’s retirement, however, leaves others — notably the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and Fox — to ponder their futures.

The first came after the Patriots victory in Super Bowl XXXVI, which was the first of their storied dynasty. He was also Super Bowl MVP after the Buccaneers defeated the Chiefs in Super Bowl LV, which is notable considering those games happened two decades apart yet Brady was still the most important player in each game regardless of age. The most infamous of Super Bowl losses came during the 2007 season. Tom Brady might have seven Super Bowl rings, but he’s played in more than just those games. Tom Brady has officially called it a career, for real this time.

Brady didn't have the strongest arm or the most athleticism, and he wasn't always surrounded by numerous Hall of Famers on offense his whole career like ...

And his will to be great and be the best is special. He's more than willing to give me some advice, which I think is pretty cool because he is the GOAT and someone I want to try and chase. But if there's one player with a chance -- even a slight one -- to break some of these Brady records, it's probably Mahomes. And then his will to bring his teammates along is special. "He has the Jordan in him -- that will to win and that will to be the best," Mahomes explained.

The current holder of that record - to no one's surprise - is Brady with 88. These are the types of games that we have to take care of the football and not turn it over.'

It comes down to whoever excels and takes advantage of their opportunities in drives and scores points. This is only Mahomes' sixth NFL season, and he only played in one game as a rookie, meaning he has reached 37 300-yard games far faster than Marino did. Dan Marino, with 37 300-yard games from 1983 to 1989, has owned the record since the 1980s. In fact, he has already surpassed some NFL Hall of Famers, having more passing touchdowns than John Elway, Steve Young, Troy Aikman, and Roger Staubach. It blows me away because however they're playing, I don't see the game the way they see it.' Brady has played more postseason games than any player in NFL history with 48. And Manning is quite content talking about football from his sofa on Manning-cast, rather than playing these days. I go, 'f***, I can't do any of that.' How did they do that? After leading the Chiefs to their third Super Bowl in four years and one ring already on his finger, could Patrick Mahomes be on track to catch - and even surpass - Tom Brady, Peyton Manning and Aaron Rodgers as one of the NFL's best?
