Bucs ownership reacts to Tom Brady’s retirement

The Glazer family, which owns the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, have issued statement in response to the retirement of quarterback Tom Brady.

“Tom’s impact on our franchise these past three years has been immense and we are appreciative of the time we had with him here in Tampa Bay,” it reads. “He set an exceptional standard that elevated our entire organization to new heights and created some of the most iconic moments in our history. Tom’s impact will be felt within our community for many years to come and we will forever be grateful for those unforgettable memories that he provided during these final seasons of his legendary career. We wish him the best in this next chapter of life and are confident he will find similar success in his future endeavors.”

Brady announced his retirement Wednesday morning after 23 legendary seasons in the NFL, the last three of which he spent in Tampa Bay.

He leaves with nearly every major passing record in NFL history, and quite a few in Bucs history, despite playing just three years with the team.

Brady’s tenure in Tampa Bay was the most successful three-year run in franchise history, with three straight playoff appearances, back-to-back division titles for the first time ever, and a second Lombardi Trophy.
