Tom Brady said in October that he plans to play for another 10 years. The New England Patriots are willing to let him try.
The team on Monday reached agreement on a two-year contract extension for the star quarterback, keeping him under lock and key through 2019, NFL Media's Albert Breer reported, per a team source.
ESPN first broke the news of Brady's extension.
Set to turn 39 in August, the extension will keep Brady in a Patriots uniform until he's 42 years old. Whether or not coach Bill Belichick remains in place that long is another question, but the duo have been joined at the hip since Brady was picked in the sixth round of the 2000 NFL Draft.
