Until and unless legendary Patriots quarterback Tom Brady discovers the real-life Fountain of Youth, or starts aging in reverse like Benjamin Button, the fact remains he will one day walk away from football. Brady claims that day won’t be for another two or three years, provided he doesn’t suddenly start to “suck.” And based off his latest accomplishment at the age of 41 (winning a record-breaking sixth Super Bowl championship), it’s probably a good idea to take him at his word.
Still, Patriots fans have to begin thinking about the future at some point. Head coach Bill Belichick was reportedly already considering life post-Tom back in 2017, until team owner Robert Kraft stepped in on Brady’s behalf and coerced Belichick to ship Brady’s heir apparent, Jimmy Garoppolo, off to San Francisco.
