For the first time in his career, Tom Brady, barring an extension, will be an unrestricted free agent in March. The future of the 42-year-old New England Patriots quarterback is on the minds of many, upset his.
On Friday, Brady was asked if the uncertainty of the future changes anything for him. His response, via Henry McKenna of Patriots Wire:
“I would say no different than I’ve approached it for the last 20 years. Try to do the best I can do and help our team win, be a great player and have a winning attitude. Try to bring it to the field.”
Brady has not said anything definite about his future. Nobody, for sure, knows if he will stay with the Patriots, retire or find a new NFL home elsewhere. Despite so, speculation persists, as some believe he could find a new team at the end of the season, either to get out of the shadow of Bill Belichick or the Patriots looking on to the future.
Under Belichick, the Patriots have historically moved on from players when they believe they either can't afford them or their regression is coming. For the coach, it doesn't matter if the player served a long tenure or is a starter. If they see a viable reason to move on, they will.
However, that discussion is not for the now. The Patriots are focused on beating the Miami Dolphins to secure a first-round bye. After that, their focus shifts to winning Brady his seventh Super Bowl ring.
