We all know that nobody is safe when it comes to that 53-man roster. But when do you know it’s the right time to call it quits?
After the sudden trade of Patriots player Logan Mankins, it became even more evident that in New England anyone can be gone with the blink of an eye.
Tom Brady will always be known as one of the best quarterbacks of his time, but at some point theres a good chance the team may want to move on from him for some fresh meat.
In an NBC Sports article, Brady speaks on the topic and never wanting to play anywhere other than New England.
“There’s nowhere I’d rather play I know that,” Brady said, via CSNNE.com. “I love playing for this team and I love representing this team. Hopefully I can do that for as long as I can. When I suck, I’ll retire. I don’t plan on sucking for a long time. Hopefully that leads me to be in here, and there’s no place I’d rather be. I love this game and I love working hard at it.
Even if Brady were to leave the Patriots because of new, young talent I am sure there would be another team willing to pick him up.
“I like working hard at it,” Brady said. “I’m going to try to be the best I can be for as long as I can do that. Hopefully the team values that. If they don’t, then I’ll probably have a tough day at some point. That’s what football’s all about.”
Which means that if the Patriots decide to move on from Brady, he will have no choice but to move on to another team. The destination will just depend on who needs a quarterback at the time.
