When Will Tom Brady Retire? Here's What He Said About Playing Past 45!

Tom Brady is set to turn 44 years old in August of 2021 and he’s already the oldest starting quarterback in the league.

Throughout the back half of his amazing career, he’s been asked constantly about if he’s ever planning to retire.

It seems highly likely that the 43-year-old quarterback plans on playing in the 2021-2022 season. He signed a massive contract with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers that will take him until next season. However, it’s unclear if he will play when he turns 45.

In a press conference, Tom, who will be playing in his 10th Super Bowl on Sunday (February 7), said he’d “definitely consider” playing after age 45.

“It’s a physical sport and just the perspective I have on that is that you never know when that moment is,” Tom said. “It’s a contact sport and there’s a lot of training that goes into it. And again, it has to be 100 percent commitment from myself to keep doing it.”

Some past legendary quarterbacks, have called it quits around age 40 after a decline in physical performance on the field. Tom is still playing at a great level, having taken his team to the Super Bowl this coming Sunday.

If you don’t know, Tom has a gorgeous wife, Gisele Bundchen, and three kids! See all his family photos right here if you haven’t already.
