Nick Wright Urges Tom Brady To Forget Family Concerns Amid Retirement Chatter

Tom Brady may call it career for family concerns. The seven-time champion has caused an avalanche of reactions with his most recent comments. First, Brady said he has yet to make a decision on his future in the NFL. Second, he said Gisele is really worried about the hits he receives each game. Finally, Brady doesn’t want to disappoint his fans. He would never play with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers if he isn’t 100% healthy.

Skip Bayless reported that the Buccaneers are already prepared for Brady’s departure. This is a rather huge claim, and Bayless was shocked. He can’t believe that 2021 was his final season in the NFL.

Tom Brady shouldn’t really focus on his family concerns

Brady may have a second thought about his future in the NFL, but Nick Wright wants him to continue playing.

“It’s not about numbers,” Wright said during Tuesday’s “First Things First” episode. “It’s about what he wants. I think Tom Brady should do what he wants. And I know he said, ‘You know, it’s not about what I want, it’s about what we want.’ Tom’s 44 years old. We all have families here. We all have kids. We all have spouses. Tom Brady, whenever he retires, is going to retire younger than, I don’t know, 99.99% of people who ever live.

“He already has a job that, while incredibly demanding seven months a year and somewhat demanding the other five months, give you more time with your family than the vast majority of jobs in America. … And I just, I don’t like when athletes feel pressure to stop what they love, what has made them what they are … Your kids will understand. Your kids — even if in the moment they’re like, ‘I wish we had more time with dad’ — you know what, when they get older and they have a passion and they have something they love, they will understand.

“If he wants to play, he should play because it’s what he wants to do.”

Tom Brady should do exactly what *he* wants. His family will understand. Even if he plays FIVE more years, he’ll be retiring younger than literally 99.99% of people ever. https://t.co/9ggw0Ojcxp

Gisele won’t really agree with this one. She is really worried about Brady’s health. Quarterbacks receive a lot of hits on the field. Brady knows it really well.
