NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell issued the following statement on the retirement of Tom Brady.

Tom Brady will be remembered as one of the greatest to ever play in the NFL. An incredible competitor and leader, his stellar career is remarkable for its longevity but also for the sustained excellence he displayed year after year. 

Tom made everyone around him better and always seemed to rise to the occasion in the biggest moments.  His record five Super Bowl MVP awards and seven Super Bowl championships set a standard that players will chase for years. 

 He inspired fans in New England, Tampa and around the world with one of the greatest careers in NFL history. It has been a privilege to watch him compete and have him in the NFL. We thank him for his many contributions to our game and wish Tom and his family all the best in the future.
