Tom Brady retired from football nearly three weeks ago, but rumors persist that he'll eventually return to play.

Bruce Arians is convinced the 44-year-old quarterback is not planning a return.

"That would shock me," Arians told Rick Stroud of the Tampa Bay Times. "And he let us know in time to do the free agency like we've done in the past, that's why I don't see it happening.

"I don't know if there's really a story there."
