Devin McCourty insists he was speaking in jest when he said he’d play another season for the Patriots if Tom Brady returned.
The longtime Patriots safety clarified his remarks and addressed his plans for the future during an appearance Tuesday on NBC Sports Boston’s “Patriots Talk Podcast.”
“I’m not sure yet, man,” McCourty said. “I know a lot of people saw what I said — that if Tom comes back, I’ll come back — which was obviously a joke. I mean, that would have no bearing on if I played football or not. That would be pretty sad as a grown man.
