MINNEAPOLIS - New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady said earlier this week that he wasn't thinking of retirement, and he reinforced that Sunday by saying on Westwood One radio: "Yeah, you're gonna see me playing football next year. I don't envision not playing."
Brady is signed through the 2019 season, and is still playing at a high level, as evidenced by him winning the NFL's Most Valuable Player on Saturday.
Given their ages, the futures of Brady (40) and head coach Bill Belichick (65) have sparked media-based speculation about their plans.
