Bucs fans react to Tom Brady’s retirement
Another February 1st, another retirement announcement from Tom Brady.
The GOAT posted an emotional video Wednesday morning, retiring after 23 legendary seasons in the NFL, the last three of which he spent with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
Brady and the Bucs accomplished much in that short time, making the playoffs every year, winning back-to-back division titles for the first time in franchise history, and securing the team’s second Lombardi Trophy.
After the announcement was posted, it didn’t take long for the reactions started pouring in from Bucs fans on social media, most of which were filled with gratitude for his time spent in Tampa Bay:

A bit stunned. I think it's probably for the best rather than sticking around until he falls off the performance cliff but I still can't help but wishing he'd stick around to win another ring. Also hard to imagine the NFL without him, the greatest ever across all sports.

Tom helped bring a Super Bowl, a ton of primetime game slots, and constant national media coverage.. it’s been a fantastic few years and it was worth the pain going forward 🫡

Even with this season, I’m grateful for the ring, what he did for the Bucs culture, and that part of his legend was spent and ended here.

Happy for being able to be along for the ride

We all enjoyed the ride but it was time

Happy we had him, but now Licht will really earn his salary. His last 2 drafts have left the Buccaneers with some serious talent issues, these picks this year have to be A+ across the board.

Thankful. The greatest QB in history chose to come to the Buccaneers. He gave us 3 aweseasons and a Super Bowl Championship. What else can you say except thank you.

Incredibly thankful for his time in Tampa. My kids got to see us win a Super Bowl, and that’s a lifelong memory.

Super grateful for what he’s done for the franchise. Never forget he CHOSE the Bucs. NE can’t say that. I’m ready for the Bucs to turn the page but nervous about what’s to come.

Sad that it ended the way it did. Happy for him. So grateful for the last three years and that we got to witness his entire career.

It was time…He gave Tampa everything they asked for until he couldn’t. 1st ballet HOF & Canton awaits. Licht & co. have some work to do now. 2023 looks unfavorable…A roster implosion & rebuild looms.

Thankful and happy that Tom chose Tampa Bay to extend his legacy. It was a wonderful 3-year ride (yes, even this past season had its moments I'll never forget). I don't know where we go from here, but I'll cherish the memories forever. Thank you 🐐. #GoBucs pic.twitter.com/XcCUAOqofn

It was the best few years I’ve experienced as a Bucs fan. Greatful, but also sad
