Tom Brady’s brand may evolve even more now that the so-called "GOAT" has officially retired from the NFL, this time for good.
Brady announced the decision in an emotional but brief Instagram post.
The quarterback, who retires as a Tampa Bay Buccaneer, won seven Super Bowls over the course of his 23-year playing career. Six of those titles were with the New England Patriots, and his winning helped him leverage victories off the field.
FOX Business takes a look at Brady's off-field ventures.

TB12
Brady, 45, built the TB12 Method with his body coach and business partner Alex Guerrero into a powerhouse and has credited the diet and some of the aspects of it as the reason why he’s been able to play as long as he has. His 2017 book, "The TB12 Method: How to Achieve a Lifetime of Sustained Peak Performance," was No. 1 on The New York Times’ bestseller list.
199 Productions
Brady has the Hollywood smile meant for the big screen but has seen a limited amount of time in movies and on TV shows. He’s made cameo appearances in "Ted 2," "Entourage," "Stuck on You," and he even made a controversial appearance on "Living with Yourself."
Brady launched 199 Productions right before he joined the Buccaneers in 2020. The name is based on Brady’s draft selection number.

Subway
Brady made an appearance in a Subway sandwich commercial, though he’s not one to eat bread or any carbohydrates. The Super Bowl-winning quarterback’s ad appeared to be advertising for cologne but talked mostly about the franchise.

FTX cryptocurrency
Brady, and his ex-wife, supermodel Gisele Bündchen, did a series of commercials for the now-bankrupt cryptocurrency trading firm FTX. Brady was also seen hobnobbing with founder Sam Bankman-Fried, who is now under house arrest.
FTX may go down as one of his more controversial investments as the fraud may be bigger than Enron and the Bernie Madoff Ponzi scheme.
