Tom Brady has revealed he is still weighing up his options following reports over the weekend that he had decided to call time on his 22-year playing career in the NFL.

The 44-year-old is widely regarded as the greatest quarterback in NFL history following a glittering career that saw him win six Super Bowls during his time with the New England Patriots before adding another ring with Tampa Bay Buccaneers (12/1 to win Super Bowl LVII) last year.

However, following the Bucs' defeat to the Los Angeles Rams in this season's playoffs, speculation has gathered pace regarding Brady's retirement, so much so that it was widely reported over the weekend that he had decided to bring his glittering career to a close.

Brady's TB12 Sport company and the official NFL Twitter account were among those posting to seemingly confirm his 'retirement', but the man himself has now denied those rumours and insists he has still to make a decision over whether he will continue playing next season.

"I'm still going through the process that I said I was going to do," Brady told the Let's Go! podcast. "Sometimes it takes time to really evaluate how you feel and what you want to do.

"I think when the time is right, I'll be ready to make a decision one way or another.

"I'm just trying to do the best I can every day and evaluate things as they come and try to make a great decision for me and my family."

Brady's potential final game in the NFL could well prove to be against this season's Super Bowl winners, as following their 30-27 success over the Bucs, the Rams went on to beat the San Francisco 49ers in Sunday's NFC Championship game.

That has set up a clash with AFC champions Cincinnati Bengals in Super Bowl LVI on February 13 and the Rams will boast home advantage for that contest, as it is being staged at their SoFi Stadium (Bengals 13/8, Rams 1/2 - Money Line).

By the time Super Bowl LVI comes around, we could also have a definitive decision on Brady's future.
