Brady won’t rush call on retirement

-

If Tom Brady retires in the offseason, he’ll walk away following one of the worst playoff games of his career. The seven-time Super Bowl champion had a tough night against Micah Parsons and the Cowboys, tossing his first red-zone intercepti­on with the Buccaneers in a 31-14 loss that ended his team’s up-anddown season Monday night. Brady won’t be returning home to the Bay Area for a rematch against the 49ers in the NFC divisional round. He may be going home for good, however. The 45-year-old, five-time Super Bowl MVP already retired once after last season only to return 40 days later. He said he’ll take more time to make his decision this time around. “It’ll be one day at a time, truly,” Brady said. It was a tumultuous season personally for Brady. His marriage to Gisele Bündchen ended when they announced in October that their divorce was finalized. He had the first losing season of his 23-year career, though the Bucs won the woeful NFC South and earned the No. 4 seed. Brady is set to become a free agent, so he could choose to continue his unpreceden­ted career with another team.
