There is a zero per cent chance Super Bowl 53 is Tom Brady’s last game. Those are his words and there is no reason to doubt his honesty.
The question really is, when will it be Tom Brady’s last game? Brady said when he turned 40 he wanted to play until he is 45.
Well, is that really up to Tom Brady, and if he wants to get there will he have to play somewhere else?
Brady’s contract is up at the end of this upcoming season. He turns 42 in August, so what do you do if you’re the Patriots?
Do you extend a contract for a quarterback who will be 43 in 2020? When do the Patriots start looking for the future?
It’ll be a decision that could come to a head this off-season, maybe even a tell could be what the Patriots do at the draft. Although when they drafted Jimmy Garoppolo in the 2nd round, some thought the end would be near. Instead, Garoppolo is San Francisco’s future now.
But be real. Would you put faith in a 43-year-old quarterback, even if it was Tom Brady?
Maybe the end is near. So enjoy another Super Bowl with the greatest ever, you might actually miss him when he’s gone.
