Brady, 41, looking at extending NFL career beyond 2019
Tom Brady is thinking of playing even beyond 2019, with the five-time Super Bowl champion quarterback signalling he has plans to lead the New England Patriots next year and beyond.
"I absolutely believe I will play in 2019," Brady said in repeating his intentions for next season on his weekly interview on Westwood One Radio.
"I know I've talked about it a long time. I have goals to play not only next year but beyond that. And I'm going to try to do it as best as I possibly can.”
Already with the most NFL wins (233) and most Super Bowl victories by a quarterback, Brady has the Patriots in the playoffs again this season, leading them to a 10th consecutive AFC East title with a 10-5 record.
They conclude the regular season on Sunday against the visiting New York Jets.
Brady's current contract expires after next season. The 199th pick in the 2000 NFL draft, he has spent his entire 19-year career with the Patriots.
As for the future, Brady said: "It will certainly be a challenge. I don't take any of these things for granted, but I hope I can keep playing, and I hope I can keep playing at a championship level."
