Hey guys, no agenda here. Just wanted to ask you what you’d prefer. I’m not trying to make any type of point regardless of your answer to this question, though it’s possible it will lead to a conclusion (but I clearly have no agenda.)
Scenario A:
Patriots extend Brady for three years. Despite the move being widely panned due to his age and that level of commitment, Brady plays phenomenal and then gets extended again. He plays the next eight years and retires at age 50, in 2028. He is all-decade first-team for the third consecutive decade and the Patriots win three move Super Bowls while making it to the big game four times. They win the division every season. But after eight years, from 2029-30, there are some questions about who will replace Brady.
Scenario B:
Patriots do not extend Brady and he walks. He goes to Indianapolis and wins a Super Bowl in 2020. He then goes to the Jets and wins a Super Bowl in 2021. He goes to the the Steelers and wins a Super Bowl in 2022. He also renounces all of his time with the Patriots and refuses to ever be associated with the organization again. Meanwhile, the Patriots struggle to even maintain mediocrity. Belichick does his best to rebuild with limited resources, and the Patriots win between 6 and 9 games from 2020 through 2024. This is followed by Belichick leaving the Patriots to set the all-time record for coaching wins, which he does with the NY Giants in 2025. He then wins two more Super Bowls with the Giants before retiring in 2032. He lobbies the NFL to have every win by the Patriots under his leadership transferred to the Giants and renounces the Patriots forever.
I can see you picking either one here, and like I said, not trying to push for one way or another. Whichever you prefer has no bearing on what I’ll tell you next as it relates to the Brady situation. Thanks for your opinion.
