Tom Brady is eligible for free agency this offseason. He turns 46 in August. He must necessarily make some decisions, one year after he retired and then un-retired six weeks later.
if he wants to keep playing. Some associates believe Brady probably will play next season, though they caution they don’t consider that certain. Any decision about a new team could depend, they say, on family considerations and proximity to his kids.“We’ll sit down and have a conversation,” Buccaneers Coach Todd Bowles said. “And we’ll talk about it at that time. It’s not anything publicly that needs to be said at this time.
Brady has spent three seasons with the Buccaneers after 20 seasons with the New England Patriots. He is now two seasons removed from winning his seventh Super Bowl title, in his first season with the Bucs. “You never rebuild,” Bowles said. “You always reload. You know you’ve got a chance to win every year. We’ve got to tweak some things from a schematic standpoint all the way around. … And obviously no one ever comes back with every player on the team. So we’ll have some new faces in here. That’s just part of the game.”Brady endured the first losing season of his career. His personal life was scrutinized in media coverage of his divorce.
“We didn’t earn it,” he said. “[The Cowboys] did. I think that there’s a part of football where I feel like it’s sometimes you get lucky. But most of the time, the team that earns it wins. And they played good all year. They played good tonight. They played well as a team. They were very coordinated. They played well on offense. They played well defensively. They missed some kicks on special teams. But we just couldn’t do enough on offense to put any pressure on them.
“I just want to say thank you guys for everything,” Brady told the gathered media members. “I really appreciate all your efforts. I know it’s hard for you guys, too. It’s hard for us players to make it through. You guys have got a tough job. I appreciate all that you guys do to cover us. … I love this organization. It’s a great place to be. I thank everybody for welcoming me. All you regulars, I’m just very grateful for the respect. And I hope I gave the same thing back to you guys.
