Tom Brady Addresses The Media About His Contract With Patriots

Tom Brady is entering the last year of his contract with the New England Patriots. His deal expires after the 2019 season but he doesn’t seem too worried about it. In fact, after a stock answer on playing in New England, Brady had some fun with a few follow-up questions.

“I’ve had such a great experience over a lot of years,” Brady said. “I appreciate this team and the opportunity it gave me in 2000. I play for a great coach, Coach (Bill) Belichick. Josh (McDaniels) and I have a great working relationship. I love Mr. (Robert) Kraft and his family. We’ve had just incredible success. So, hopefully, we can keep it going.”

When asked if he’s comfortable going year to year, Brady answered smiling:

“I mean, we’re all day-to-day if you think about it. None of us are really promised anything, so I’m trying to do the best I can do today and just let those things sort themselves out.”

The star quarterback who led the Patriots to a Super Bowl LIII victory last season was also asked if he believes he’s earned a new contract.

“Have I earned it? I don’t know,” Brady said. “That’s up for talk-show debate. What do you guys think? Should we take a poll? Talk to Mr. Kraft. Come on.

“We’ve got a great relationship, so we’ll see how it goes.”

He also commented the turnover in the team this season.

“There’s a lot of turnover every year. We deal with the turnover, and there’s a lot of new guys trying to assimilate into what we’ve done here for a long time. It’s really up to them to get up to speed, and everyone here has got to help them get there between the coaches, the veteran players, the leaders. It’s our responsibility to get everyone on the same page and doing the right thing and trying to help us in whatever way we can to help us move the ball down the field and score some points.”
