Joe Burrow shares why he thinks Tom Brady retired this offseason

Tom Brady’s retirement stunned the NFL world this offseason.

For 41 days, Brady had just about everyone believing he was retiring despite playing some of the best football of his career in 2021. But Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow was not one of those people.

In an appearance on the “Full Send Podcast” that was released on Wednesday, Burrow gave an interesting reason as to why he believes Brady retired and then unretired.

“He’s playing way too well to give it up right now,” Burrow said. “I think he wanted to shut down the conversation. I think he went ahead and [retired] just to get everyone off his back so he could go think about it.”
