New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady seems pretty confident that he'll be suiting up once again for the team during the 2019 NFL season.

Here's what he had to say about the situation on a recent Westwood One radio appearance, courtesy of Ryan Hannable of WEEI:

“I absolutely believe I will,” he said. “I have talked about it for a long time. I have goals not only to play next year, but beyond that. I am going to try and do it as best I possibly can. I am going to give it everything I have like I always have. It will certainly be a challenge. I don’t take any of these things for granted. But, I hope I can keep playing and I hope I can keep playing at a championship level.”

Brady has not had his most efficient year in the passing attack, but it's still been enough to lead the Patriots to yet another AFC East title.

But, with Brady set to turn 42 years old before the start of next season, there are already questions surrounding whether he will choose to return for another season.

As expected, when asked about coming back, Brady is already making it rather clear what his intentions are for next year.

Brady has thrown for 4,105 yards and 25 touchdowns this season, and despite the occasional struggles, he should be in line to give the Patriots another shot at a deep postseason run.

New England will wrap up the regular season on Sunday against the New York Jets.
