Brady says he plans to play in 2019 and beyond...

[Success]

Good.  If any team in the AFCE was even competent this year, the Pats probably lose the division.

 

Jets and Bills should both be much improved next year. 

 

I remember how I felt at 42.  Things hurt more.  I was slower.  Keep on playing, TB.

Unlike many here I don't want him to retire until the Bills are beating the Patriots on the regular. I know the "you'll be waiting forever" is going to be the natural response. But what's the difference of him being 200-3 against us vs 300-3? 

I’m with you !!! 

Hopefully this offseason will add some weapons on offense OL/WR maybe even TE/RB and give Josh a fair shot of beating them , I would like nothing more then TAKE the division from them and MAKE him retire!

Toomy Boy sez he wants to play until he’s 45!

 

Dude’s contract expires after next season - it’ll be interesting to see just how much Kraft loves him.

He’s sticking to the same story he publicly stated years ago - he wants to keep playing until he’s 45.

 

It won’t happen.   In fact, if he somehow wins the Super Bowl this year then you bet your ass he’s retiring.  Either way, the end is near

I have no doubt that they’ll keep him around next year if he wants to play, but I don’t think they will re-sign him after 2019-20.  They know that they are facing a re-build.

 

Rumors are Kraft put his foot down when BB was ready to trade him.   I dont think Kraft is the problem, it would be BB.  But as long as he is performing they will keep him around.  He wont be getting some huge deal with lots of guaranteed but he never has.   If his play deteriorates then you could be right.

2 seasons of sweeps and divisional wins should do it

[hemma]

At some point, they’ll turn on him.

It would just be awful if the boo birds came out and the cameras caught him getting all weepy.

Just awful, especially if it was replayed 800 times for a month.

Cant see him retiring this year under any circumstances apart from serious injury..

We’ll see, but I get the impression that he wants to go out a winner.  Things are definitely trending downward and I think we all can see it.  If he wins the Super Bowl this year, I would bet he calls it a career but we’ll see

Possibly.., I know we are just sharing hypotheticals but they don’t have a replacement for next season and I don’t think he will leave them in the lurch..

 

Also, if they were to win it this year he will think he can do it again next year..

100? They said there would be no math.

 

What, is this a trick question?

[May Day 10]

I think next year is his last year.  I predict he will take a step back, as will the pats.  The team will see the writing on the wall and not be in a hurry to give a new contract at a rate that is greater than the player's current value.  They will also be serious about getting a 22 year old playmaking qb who will/would give brady serious competition.  Brady doesnt want to be benched, and likely knows he would be humbled without belichick and in his 40s playing for the Broncos or raiders.  

[qwksilver]

In the last few weeks he doesn't look very interested in holding the ball to take the hit to deliver the ball. Just like Eli. his days are very numbered. He would retire soon if he's half as smart as Boston thinks he is.

His season stats this year would be among the best ever by a Bills QB

 

I did not know they kept cheating stats.

 

The worst part will be he will probably be sent to the booth post career on CBS and will be assigned Bills games.

He's already getting paid under the table, he might as well take vet min.

Agree, which is why the best thing that happened to the rest of the AFCE was the Pats letting Garropollo walk. A monumental lack of foresight IMO.

BB didnt want to trade him. San Fran inquored about him before 2017 tc. The plan was to sign jommy to a 2 year 24 mil guaranteed extension.

[LeGOATski]

He needs to retire as a Pat. 

 

They should blow up their team during that time, accept the losses, and prepare for the rebuild as soon as he retires. He'll retire faster if the team sucks.

[Passepartout]

For all I know he can play if he gets to 100 years old. Ha ha!

[Dr.Sack]

His legs are starting to go. Your body starts to slow, nerves, reaction time, reflexes. The hits accumulate. I suppose he can aim to throw backwards instead of the usual dink and dunk.
