USA TODAY Sports' Nancy Armour breaks down what factor played into Tom Brady’s decision to retire from football.
New England Patriots owner Robert Kraft told CNN on Thursday that he wants Tom Brady to sign a one-day contract and officially retire as a Patriot. "Not only do I want it, our fans are clamoring for it," Kraft said. "We will do everything in our power to bring him back, have him sign off as a Patriot and find ways to honor him for many years to come." Brady announced his retirement from the NFL on Wednesday.
Tom Brady's future figures to be busy. The seven-time Super Bowl-winning quarterback's retirement announcement ended speculation about if and where Brady might want to play next season, opening the door for numerous off-the-field endeavors that could occupy his time. It was announced last May that whenever Brady stepped away from his playing career, he would join Fox Sports as the network's lead NFL analyst in a 10-year, $375 million contract. The 45-year-old future Hall of Famer, who said Wednesday that he's retiring for good, already has numerous commercial endorsements and an extensive business portfolio that includes the TB12 health and fitness company he co-founded with close friend and long-time trainer Alex Guerrero.
