Tom Brady’s Touchdown Football Sells for US$518,000
According to Football Today, the game ball Tom Brady threw for his last career touchdown as a Buccaneer has sold for $518,000.
Brady threw a 55-yard touchdown pass to wide receiver Mike Evans with 3:20 left in the fourth quarter of the NFC divisional playoff game against the Los Angeles Rams, cutting the Rams’ lead to 27-20.
Due to the lack of indication from Tom Brady that he would retire, and given only rumors that he was contemplating retirement, Evans threw the football into the stands. Upon catching the ball, the fan consigned it.
The first touchdown football Tom Brady threw in his career (to Terry Glenn) with the New England Patriots was previously auctioned off on the site for $428,841.
The starting bid for Brady’s last touchdown football was $100,000, with 23 people placing bids. The ball was predicted to sell for $1 million by some at the site.
Tom Brady is still under contract with the Buccaneers, and he has hinted about returning.
However, coach Bruce Arians said last month that Brady did not appear to be interested in returning, based on his conversations with him.

Celebrity Net Worth reports that Brady leaves the field with seven Lombardi trophies, five Super Bowl MVP awards, and a net worth of $250 million.
