However, things haven’t gotten better. After a tragic end to this season, Brady still hasn’t cleared the speculation around his future yet. A few fans are now comparing the NFL legend to the likes of Cristiano Ronaldo by saying that they’ve hung around for too long. The soccer legend recently went against all the odds and signed a massive contract with Al-Nassr. The Portuguese star then stated that it was for the ‘development’ of the sport in Saudi Arabia.

Let’s have a look at how Tom Brady’s decision-making is now being compared to Ronaldo’s sudden decision to play soccer in Saudi Arabia.

Tom Brady’s fanbase rightfully feels that the NFL star shouldn’t have returned back last season. The fans did not shy away from making direct comparisons and voicing their opinions. The ‘cherry on the cake’ moment of the discussion was when one of the fans said, “Brady is Cristiano Ronaldo of football, great player who hung around for too long and left bad taste”.

Did Cristiano Ronaldo Inspire Tom Brady to Return From Retirement?

What did the NFL legend say about his future?

A few hours ago, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers were knocked out of the NFL. Tom Brady and his team received a 31-14 shocking thumping from the Dallas Cowboys. After the game, there were obvious questions about the NFL star’s future. However, Brady did not provide the media with a clear line of thought. Due to this, many of the fans have now turned sour in relation to the same.

According to USA Today, Brady told the media, “(There) has been a lot of focus on this game, so yeah. It’s just been one day at a time, truly. You always want every year to end great. Unfortunately, in sports, it doesn’t work that way.” Buccaneers head coach, Todd Bowles also refused to comment on the NFL star’s future.

Without a doubt, Tom Brady and Cristiano Ronaldo could still be extremely fit athletes to date. However, the fans just feel that the shelf life of both these veterans’ careers has sadly come to an end.
