Buy Saints Tickets— Tom Brady (@TomBrady) February 1, 2023
There he goes: Tom Brady has announced his retirement, and he means it this time. All four teams in the NFC South could be starting new quarterbacks in 2023 with Brady stepping away from the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Brady shared his news in a video from his official Twitter account on Wednesday morning.
Brady won a Super Bowl with the Bucs in the COVID-19-impacted 2020 season, having gone 3-4 in head-to-head games with the New Orleans Saints as Tampa Bay’s quarterback (including the playoffs). He made the division more competitive and helped create some great memories for Saints fans when their team swept his Buccaneers in the 2020 and 2021 regular seasons.
Now he’s hanging up his cleats for good, having made a half-hearted retirement last offseason before returning for one last run with Tampa Bay. We know the Buccaneers will be starting a new quarterback in 2023, as will the Atlanta Falcons and Carolina Panthers. Let’s see if the Saints join them on the quarterbacks carousel.
