Is Tom Brady ready to retire from the NFL at age 44?

After 22 seasons, more than 84,000 yards and seven Super Bowl championships, is Tom Brady finally ready to walk away from football?The legendary quarterback, who is widely considered the greatest to ever play the position, dropped perhaps the greatest hint yet that it's a distinct possibility.Speaking on his podcast "Let's Go," with Jim Gray, the 44-year-old Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback said: "I think as I've gotten older, I think the best part is, is football is extremely important in my life, and it means a lot to me, and I care a lot about what we're trying to accomplish as a team, and I care a lot about my teammates. His 53 game-winning drives trail only Peyton Manning's 54, and he ranks eighth all time in both passing yards per game (265.8) and passer rating (97.6).Nick Wright, host of "First Things First," pointed out that while Brady's legacy is secure, he should not feel pressured to walk away from the sport before he is ready."Tom Brady, whenever he retires, is going to retire younger than, I don't know, 99.9 percent of people that ever lived?" he said.
