Turnaround: Tom Brady announced Sunday night that he will return to play with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers next season.
The 44-year-old quarterback said he was retiring from professional football on February 1.
“Over the past two months, I have realized that my place is always on the field and not in the stands,” he wrote. That time will come. But it’s not now. I love my teammates and I love my family who support me. They make it all possible. I’m coming back for my 23rd season. [C’est une] unfinished business.”
Brady has a valid contract in 2022. He must receive $ 10.4 million.

If he had announced his retirement at the end of the 2021 season, Brady had shown no signs of slowing down. He has indeed totaled 5,316 yards and 43 touchdowns through the air, suffering 12 interceptions. He finished second in the league MVP award behind Aaron Rodgers.
This title he won three times during his illustrious career. He also points to the top of all time in the NFL with 84,520 passing yards, 624 touchdowns and 7,263 stints completed.
Brady has also won seven Vince-Lombardi trophies, including six with the New England Patriots. He had added one with the “Bucs” in his first year with the Florida club in 2021.
