Tom Brady is retiring from the NFL.
Again.
Football fans will recall that Brady also briefly retired last year, and reactions poured in from players and teams to congratulate him on such an accomplished career.
Then, 40 days later, Brady decided to unretire and returned to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers for the 2022 season.
Now the quarterback is saying, once again, that he is hanging up his cleats, this time for good. The Denver Broncos had a perfect reaction on Twitter.
“Good thing we always seem to have this photo available — please don’t make us use it again,” the Broncos official Twitter page captioned a photo of Brady and former quarterback Peyton Manning.
Good thing we always seem to have this photo available — please don’t make us use it again. 😂

“In all seriousness, congrats to an incredible competitor on an unbelievable career.”
Brady went 9-9 against Denver in his career, and he had a great rivalry with Manning and outside linebacker Von Miller. Manning won his final game against Brady in the 2015 AFC championship game, and Miller defeated Brady in Super Bowl LVI following the 2021 season.
Here’s a sampling of how Broncos Twitter reacted to the QB’s latest retirement.

The Broncos are the only team to have defeated Tom Brady in the postseason three times.
They are also one of only two teams (49ers) that Brady failed to earn a winning record against. https://t.co/zwTg2F6atb

The Broncos had an incredible amount of success against against Tom Brady.
Denver went 9-9 against Brady in his career, including 3-1 in the playoffs. Considering he’s the best to ever play the most important position, that’s very, very impressive.

Not gonna lie…call me crazy but I actually wanted to see Tom Brady go to the Raiders so the Broncos could whip up on their son some more.😆

Brady went 9-9 in his career against the Broncos, he was 1-3 against us in the playoffs, he never won a playoff game in Denver. The only game he won against us Tim Tebow started. pic.twitter.com/7EnewvTRja
