Joe Montana has some advice for Tom Brady

Should Tom Brady play for a team other than the Patriots? Joe Montana has some thoughts.

“Don’t — if you don’t have to,” Montana told NFL.com on Friday for a feature for the NFL Network’s GameDay Morning, which will air Sunday. “It’s a process to go through, and it takes time to get used to the team.”

As the Patriots’ quarterback approaches free agency in March, the speculation regarding his future has heightened. Many former players have expressed that the process of changing teams can be a difficult transition — such as former teammate Drew Bledsoe, who told CBS Radio’s “The Zach Gelb Show” in early January that he felt like a “rookie again” when he was traded to the Bills.
