Watch: Robert Kraft Makes Addmission On Tom Brady’s Future With Patriots
Tom Brady is about to enter free agency this March. It is still unsure if the quarterback will decide to leave the Patriots or no and there have been a lot of speculations. Also, it’s unclear if Bill Belichick and the rest of the New England Patriots brass will be fully able to agree on the kind of rich deal the QB wants. However, owner Robert Kraft doesn’t hide that he would take No. 12 back in an instant. The 78-year-old exec can’t really impact Brady’s future free agency thought process. And so far, the three-time MVP is keeping his motives restricted to his innermost circle.

Kraft Says It’s Up To Brady To Decide
When asked on the issue of Brady’s future plans, Kraft said it’s really not his decision to make. This really speaks volumes when you consider the close relationship that he and the futur Hall of Famer have shared over the years. The Pats boss also previously stated that he would rather have Brady either return to New England or retire. He doesn’t want him signing for another team, that’s for sure.
“My hope and prayer is number one, he plays for the Patriots. Or number two, he retires. He has the freedom to decide what he wants to do and what’s in his own best personal interest,” said Kraft.
Tom Brady’s free agency is 46 days away. I know fans are understandably super-interested in what may happen, but nothing will until ~month & half from now. No amount of interest or rumor-humping changes that. Don’t grow early November ulcers over what Christmas morn will bring?

At this point, the best case for Patriots Nation is to remain patient and wait for the final decision. The rumors surrounding the six-time Super Bowl champ are going to remain under the spotlight. Closure, it appears, isn’t coming anytime soon.
