Fantasy Impact:
Word of Brady's retirement first came out last week, but the 22-year veteran threw cold water on those reports and said he had yet to make a decision. Based on what he said last week, it sounds like Brady just didn't want to be a distraction during championship weekend, when he believed the focus should be on the teams playing. Now, he'll just be one of the many storylines over the next two weeks in the lead-up to Super Bowl 56. Brady finishes his 22-year career with seven Super Bowl championships, five Super Bowl MVP awards, three NFL MVP awards, and as the NFL's all-time leader in passing touchdowns, passing yards, and wins. The Tampa Bay Buccaneers currently have Blaine Gabbert and 2021 second-round pick Kyle Trask as the remaining quarterbacks on their roster.
