End thread.
See no FA and salary cap. Apples and Oranges.
What people keep ignoring is Brady's stated intent to play well into his 40's. Now something may happen on the field that makes that an unachievable goal. But until it does, I'd take the QB at his word. And while BB may be ruthless, and I don't think that is really the case at all, he's not stupid.
Too many here are so anxious to predict the future they have lost sight of both the not yet so distant past not to mention the present...
And stop with the anti Favre analogies. Brady isn't self absorbed, but he's more genuinely driven and competitive than the eternal gunslinger ever was. Brady will play as long as he knows he can consistently perform at a level befitting his legacy. And Belichick and Kraft will let him because they are also football businessmen. When he realizes he can't he won't need Bill to tell him. Unlike most players he's always been his own harshest critic (aside from a handful of idiots who periodically show up and post drivel here). He enjoys spending quality time with his young family. But there is nothing on his immediate career horizen that remotely compares to the rush he still gets playing football.
And for the love of god can't some mod at least merge the Mallett threads??? He's the effin' third string QB.
