Are we sure Brady is not retiring? Age 39 and surely he couldn't leave on a higher note than that. It was his "Jordan in Slat Lake" moment and cemented his status as greatest QB of all time.

It'll be a tricky decision for the Pats over the offseason whether to trade Garoppolo or keep him for the post-Brady era, especially if someone offers them a good first rounder for him in the next draft.
As for that ESPN prediction, it's clearly ludicrous. My dark horse for the AFC would be the Texans if they manage to get Romo, if not it's Pats or Raiders, provided they seriously strengthen on the defensive side of the ball.
Tom ain't retiring anytime soon, he's still got another three Super Bowl titles in him. Sorry Patriot haters our domination will continue for a while longer.

Surely there's no way he'll retire yet? You wouldn't have guessed that was a 39 year old playing on Sunday.

Why would Brady retire? He's still getting it done and still winning. He's not like Manning last year who'd broken down completely

If I had a shitload of money on my bank account and Giselle Bündchen waiting for me at home I would have retired years ago... ;)

Brady will be tormenting defenses for at least the next 3 years  ;D

Rumours are that the Super Bowl Champion New England Patriots will be offering the 5 time Super Bowl champion and undisputed GOAT an extension on his existing deal this offseason.

I think those 6 players the Pats drafted above Brady, didn't stay on the Pats team, past the first Pats SB run. :o

Plenty of good defensive backs out there this year mate.

You might have a shot at Teez Tabor from Florida.

Adoree Jackson from USC could be an option although mid-20s might be a reach according to some.

Who thinks the Browns will actually part with the 12th overall pick for Jimmy G? I think that'd be an insane move by the Browns and would further prove how much of a pathetic team they are. The only argument I've seen supporting the idea of that exact trade is that he's won a couple of games when Brady was out ;D.
