Tom Brady is reportedly "putting pressure" on the New England Patriots to improve their roster, with speculation surrounding the quarterback's future beginning to intensify ahead of the free-agency deadline.

According to Mike Sando of The Athletic, while there isn't any genuine fear among Patriots execs yet that the veteran will be on the move in the offseason, Brady is said to have been encouraging key figures at the franchise to recruit some high-class players.

"I think he likes the attention, so it is not going to be something that happens quickly," said an NFL executive quoted in Sando's story.
