Gisele Bundchen tried to get one of Tom Brady's former teammates to persuade him to retire — and it appeared to backfire

Gisele Bundchen was "dead serious" about Tom Brady retiring, but Brady's reaction may suggest he does not plan to any time soon.

  • Gisele Bundchen apparently told Jay Feely, a former teammate and long-time friend of Tom Brady's, to persuade Brady to retire.
  • Though Gisele was "dead serious," Feely instead told Brady to play as long as he can.
  • Brady has said he'd like to play into his mid-40s.

Tom Brady is set to play in his eighth Super Bowl, but from the sound of it, there's pressure on him to make it one of his last.

According to Sports Illustrated's Greg Bishop, over the summer Brady and his wife, Gisele Bundchen, vacationed with former NFL kicker Jay Feely, who was one of Brady's teammates at Michigan.

According to Feely, Gisele spent the vacation trying to get Feely to persuade Brady, 40, to retire.
