Danny Amendola weighs in on Tom Brady’s pending free-agency decision

It’s time for everyone who knows Tom Brady to speculate about the New England Patriots quarterback’s future. He has given zero indication about whether he’s going to return to his team of 20 years or whether he’ll test the market when free agency opens in March.

In the meantime, the NFL world will spend the absent time wondering what Brady will do. So when Danny Amendola, a Detriot Lions receiver and one of Brady’s good friends, appeared on ESPN, he fielded questions about Brady’s impending decision.

“It’s going to go however he wants, I think,” said Amendola. “He’s the ultimate competitor. I think as his kids get older — Vivi, Jack and Benny — he wants to spend more time with his family. I think that’s going to weigh heavily on his decision and where he goes, and he can set that up the way he wants. But his competitive nature, his ability is still through the roof, and whatever team gets him — if he stays in New England or if he goes somewhere else — he’s going to bring a high level of football there.”

Would he go to L.A.?

“It’s hard for me to see him in any other jersey than a Patriots jersey, so I’m holding on just like everybody else is,” Amendola said.
