Instant Reaction: Tom Brady is Retiring 'For Good'

The 45-year-old made the announcement on Wednesday morning.

CINCINNATI — Tom Brady is retiring. 

The NFL legend made the announcement on Wednesday morning. 

"I'm retiring. For good," Brady said in a 52-second video. "Thank you guys so much to every single one of you for supporting me." 

Brady held back tears as he made the announcement from the beach with ocean waves crashing in the background. 

He won seven Super Bowls and broke countless passing records during his 23-year career. 

The Bengals faced Brady in Week 15 of the NFL season, beating the Buccaneers 34-23 in December. It was cool to see both Joe Burrow and Brady on the same field together.

Burrow's Bengals beat Brady's Bucs in December.

He retired briefly last offseason, before returning to the Buccaneers. This time he made it clear that he's done "for good." He's one of the greatest players in NFL history and posted a 7-2 record against the Bengals.
