<p>The 7x NFL champion has been silent, but his team is working overtime to clarify what he&#8217;s doing with his career, and retirement, isn&#8217;t it. His sports agent, Don Yee, released a statement stating, &#8220;I understand the advance speculation about Tom&#8217;s future. Without getting into the accuracy or inaccuracy of what&#8217;s being reported, Tom will be the only person to express his plans with complete accuracy.&#8221;</p>
<p>The statement continued, &#8220;He knows the realities of the football business and planning calendar as well as anybody, so that should be soon.&#8221; Tom&#8217;s father, Tom Brady Sr., also spoke out, denying the reports. According to <a href="https://www.kron4.com/sports/exclusive-tom-brady-sr-says-his-son-is-not-retiring-from-football/">KRON 4,</a> Tom Sr. advised that his son was not retiring and called reports an unsubstantiated rumor. In addition, he shared that his son has not talked to Buccaneers yet.</p>

<p>Tom Sr. spoke to NFL Network&#8217;s Mike Giardi, reiterating, &#8220;has not made a final decision one way or the other.&#8221; As folks continue to talk about Tom&#8217;s decision, Adam Scheffer also trended online, and folks are not showing him any mercy. Yahoo reporter Michael Silver stepped in to show him some support, tweeting, &#8220;​​For the record: I have 100 percent faith in @JeffDarlington and his reporting, always, and know that he and @AdamSchefter are extremely plugged in on this&#8230; Just passing along the Bucs&#8217; current perspective.&#8221;</p>
