Tom Brady announced his retirement from the NFL after 22 seasons.
It was a storied career for the former sixth-round draft pick who won seven Super Bowls, three MVP awards, and had six total All-Pro selections.
Sadly, his career ended on a sour note, losing to eventual Super Bowl LVI champion Los Angeles Rams at home during Divisional Weekend.
But while the quarterback himself announced that he won’t make the same competitive commitment that he’s done since 2000, Caesars Sportsbook might know something that football fans, and even Brady himself, does not.

The betting platform gave the 44-year-old quarterback +4500 odds to win next season’s Most Valuable Player award.
That digit indicates a long-shot, especially when Patrick Mahomes and Aaron Rodgers top the list at +700.
Josh Allen is third at +900 while Joe Burrow ranks fourth at +1400.
Matthew Stafford (+1500), Derrick Henry (+1800), Dak Prescott (+2200), and Lamar Jackson (+2200) round up the top seven.
Offensive Player of the Year Cooper Kupp and Kyler Murray are at +2500, while Russell Wilson and Jonathan Taylor share +3000
Jalen Hurts, Deebo Samuel, and Derek Carr all come before Brady at +4000.
Is Brady Coming Back?
The five-time Super Bowl MVP kept on leaving some bread crumbs on whether he will return to action.
For now, he is adamant that he won’t play football anymore.
However, he did state that he won’t rule out a comeback.
But will that comeback be as soon as the 2022 NFL season?
Caesars is laying an intrigue, hoping to earn more bets because Brady is still a great choice if he ends up returning.
After all, he finished second in the MVP race to Rodgers in 2021.
Still, the chips might not fall the same way in 2022 and another player might emerge.
For those who are looking to win big, the safe bet isn’t on Brady.
