Tom Brady's retirement took some by surprise.

Tom Brady is the greatest quarterback to ever play the game of football. Having said that, he has played 23 seasons, which means the end was always approaching. Additionally, this was one of his worst seasons statistically, so it only made sense that he would ride off into the sunset.

Over the last few weeks, fans had been patiently awaiting the announcement of his next move. Brady is a player who move the needle, although he did unretire last season. Regardless, Brady appears to be done with the game of football as he took to Twitter with a message this morning.

Tom Brady Speaks

"I know the process was a pretty big deal last time, so when I woke up this morning, I figured I'd just press record and let you guys know first," Brady explained. "I won't be longwinded. You only get one super emotional retirement essay, and I used mine up last year, so really thank you guys so much to every single one of you for supporting me."

For some fans, the announcement came as a huge shock. For Raiders fans, it was especially disappointing as some had this belief that he would go and play for them. However, he is going to be leaving the game that he loves, and fans will just have to accept that for the time being.

As you can imagine, Brady was hit with various tributes all throughout social media. After all, he is the GOAT of football and his absence from the game is going to be felt immediately. In the tweets below, you can see just how much Brady accomplished throughout his time in the NFL.
