Patriots QB Tom Brady insists he’ll be returning next season

If superstar quarterback Tom Brady of the New England Patriots comes out on top on Sunday against the Philadelphia Eagles in Super Bowl LII, it’ll be a record six Super Bowl titles for the future Hall of Famer. Although he’s 40 years old and he cemented his legacy as arguably the greatest quarterback of all time, Brady isn’t thinking about calling it a career.

The face of the Patriots let it be known he won’t be walking away from the game regardless of the result of Super Bowl LII, via ESPN’s Mike Reiss.

New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady said earlier this week that he wasn’t thinking of retirement, and he reinforced that Sunday by saying on Westwood One radio: “Yeah, you’re gonna see me playing football next year. I don’t envision not playing.”New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady said earlier this week that he wasn’t thinking of retirement, and he reinforced that Sunday by saying on Westwood One radio: “Yeah, you’re gonna see me playing football next year.

Brady wants to play until he’s 45 and that may be a realistic goal. He keeps in great shape with an extremely healthy diet to maintain his performance on the field and has been able to avoid injury outside of one ACL tear earlier in this career.

As long as Brady can stay healthy and continue playing at a high level, there’s no telling how long he can maintain this level of success and therefore it comes as no surprise that he wants to play at least five more years in the NFL.

Entering Super Bowl LII, the Patriots are favorites against the Eagles which also comes as no surprise.
