Brady to Speak With Family About His Future as Retirement Not Happening According to Oddsmakers

Oddsmakers at BetOnline believe Tom Brady will be starting for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in 2022, although gamblers have obviously taken advantage of the NO price over the last 24 hours.

The popular online sportsbook, now celebrating its 23rd year in business, opened Brady at -2000 to still be playing with the Bucs come next season.  That price has since dropped to -700.  Brady retiring before the 2022 season still pays out $400 for every $100 bet.

Prior to last week's loss to the LA Rams, it was pretty much a foregone conclusion that Brady would be playing for at least another year.

"I think as I've gotten older, I think the best part is, is football is extremely important in my life, and it means a lot to me, and I care a lot about what we're trying to accomplish as a team and I care a lot about my teammates," Brady said on his "Let's Go!" podcast with Jim Gray. "The biggest difference now that I'm older is I have kids now, too, you know, and I care about them a lot as well. They've been my biggest supporters. My wife is my biggest supporter. It pains her to see me get hit out there. And she deserves what she needs from me as a husband, and my kids deserve what they need from me as a dad.

"I'm gonna spend some time with them and give them what they need, 'cause they've really been giving me what I need the last six months to do what I love to do. I said this a few years ago, it's what relationships are all about. It's not always what I want. It's what we want as a family. And I'm gonna spend a lot of time with them and figure out in the future what's next."
