Tom Brady Clearly Stokes Retirement Buzz on Purpose With Latest Instagram Caption

The New England Patriots have been the foremost dynasty of the 21st century, capturing six Super Bowls in the past 17 years.

Their run began with the emergence of Michigan quarterback Tom Brady, who replaced an injured Drew Bledsoe to get the luckiest break in league history, taking it and running with it.

With every football fan waiting for the day Brady retires, he chose to resurrect those rumors with his most recent Instagram caption.

The 41-year-old QB is widely considered as the best quarterback to have ever lived, and has six Super Bowls to his name, so there's not much more to accomplish as an NFL quarterback if you're TB12. However, with every title, the world clamors a little louder for him to hang 'em up, and he never even considers it. What's that phrase? "We're still here"?

With the caption that he chose, he is making it too easy for the haters to begin the retirement rumors for the GOAT. Is this your last, TB12? Is it??

Even though Brady provided the ammo on social media, his presence at Patriots OTAs proves he may be in the best shape of his life. If his body holds up and that fire is still lit inside of him, there is no reason to take his cryptic word on an Instagram post as anything other than a stoking of the flames.

Even if he does decide to hang them up after this season, he still gets to go home to his super model wife and live as luxuriously as ever, without the fear of 300 pound men aiming for him once a week. Whenever it happens for real, life could be worse.
