In a post on Instagram, Brady formally announced his retirement.

He’s hanging up his cleats to focus his time and energy on his family, businesses, and brands. He might be the greatest quarterback ever. Easily the best I was able to witness.

He holds NFL career records for:

• 243 regular-season wins.

• 35 postseason wins.

• 14 starts in a conference championship game.

• 10 wins in a conference title game.

• 10 Super Bowl appearances.

• 7 Super Bowl wins are a league record.

• 5 Super Bowl MVP awards.

No quarterback will ever win like Brady won.
