If you didn’t look close enough, you may have missed Tom Brady’s retirement teaser.<\/p>\n
On Instagram Tuesday, ESPN shared a post that quoted a line from Brady’s appearance on Oprah Winfrey’s “SuperSoul Sunday” program when he said retirement is coming “sooner rather than later.”<\/p>\n
Buried in the comments to the post, was one written by none other than Tom Brady (or his social media team?) that said “cuarenta y cinco” or 45 in Spanish.<\/p>\n
It’s not the first time Brady has referenced 45 as a potential career end, in May 2017 he told ESPN’s Ian O’Connor<\/a>\u00a0\u201cI always said my mid-40s, and\u00a0naturally that means around 45.\u201d<\/p>\n Does it mean Brady finally has come to a conclusion on a set date, or is he merely a social media genius and writing a number to attract viewers to his own Instagram account?<\/p>\n Tom Brady left a comment on our Instagram post about his feelings on retirement. That's "45" in Spanish, by the way. pic.twitter.com\/ASEKuY1KPi<\/a><\/p>\n — ESPN (@espn) June 20, 2018<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n
