Tom Brady explains the hardest part about being a parent.
"I made the decision in the moment, and I felt it was the right thing for the team to let the Bucs know. You need time to plan," he explained."And then through conversations with Bruce [Arians, the team’s former coach], Jason [Licht, general manager] and my wife, I felt like I could still play and compete."
"And it’s not that I’m any less committed once I say that it’s a yes, but I’ve got a 14-year-old son who lives in New York City -- he wants time," he continued."My wife, she’s been incredibly supportive of my career over a long period of time. So I had to talk with her, you know what I mean? Those decisions get made with me as a family. And I have two younger kids, one 12 and one 9 -- everyone’s got challenging lives.
As far as how much he's got left in the tank, Brady says he's taking it year by year, but admits the clock's ticking. "I really don’t [know]. I would say it’s year to year: Could this be my last year? Absolutely. Could I change my mind? Absolutely," Brady said."I’ve realized I don’t have five years left. I want to do it my way. I want to give it everything I got and see where I’m at. My body feels really good. I’ve had a lot of traumatic injuries over the years, but if things go really smoothly and we win, that’d be great.
