Tom Brady, one of the greatest players in NFL history, is expected to retire.
The 44 year-old Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback has won seven Super Bowls in an astonishing career spanning 22 seasons.
It was widely reported on Saturday evening that he had decided to retire, but his company TB12 Sports then deleted a tweet confirming the news.
Brady, a five-time Super Bowl Most Valuable Player, won six titles with the New England Patriots before his final triumph with the Buccaneers last year.
Brady, a three-time NFL season MVP, has a year remaining on his contract and has previously talked about playing beyond his 45th birthday, which is a month before the start of next season.
