Tom Brady Responds To Rumors He’ll Leave Patriots After 2019 Season

Adam Schefter added fuel to the fire, and now we have an even greater number of people who talk about Tom Brady and his retirement.

Shefter mentioned the fact that Brady will be a free agent in March and his decision to sell his home in Boston. His trainer and business partner, Alex Guerrero, is also selling his home.

Brady talked about these rumors during Friday afternoon news conference at Gillette Stadium.

“My contract situation hasn’t changed in many months, so I don’t know why it gets brought up now,” TB12 said. “I don’t know. I think it’s just hype, media, and everyone’s trying to make money and that’s what it’s about. I don’t get into it. I mean, honestly, my situation hasn’t changed. I’m just focused on what I’m always focused on, which is this week, trying to be a great quarterback for this team. As I said the other day, things happened at the right times, but this isn’t the right time.

“I’m a 42-year-old man, man. I get tired. No, it’s just — part of it’s just being Tom Brady, I guess.”

Stephen A. Smith and Max Kellerman like to talk about Brady’s future, too. Well, we know Kellerman’s attitude towards this.

“I think if you’re Tom Brady you never forget the fact that the man (Belichick) was willing to get rid of you to bring in ‘The Jimmy Garoppolo Era,’” Smith said. “… I think that Tom Brady has gotten to a point where he’s tired of that reality being his reality.”“Why is he going to be a free agent this year? Cause when they restructured Belichick, who’s the GM, who got his marching orders from Kraft cause Brady did an end-around, they said ‘Ok here’s the contract I’ll give you,’” Kellerman said.

“Belichick does the cap and all that stuff. And Tom Brady’s like, ‘Oh yeah? Ok, you don’t want to commit long-term to me? Watch this Belichick. Now that I kneecapped this guy because Jimmy G ain’t here. Brissett ain’t here… What are you going to do with Stidham who’s not ready? Let me go my separate way from Belichick and see if it’s Belichick or Brady.’”

The Patriots are 7-0 at this point of the season, but they are winning games thanks to the defense.
