Quarterback Tom Brady and the New England Patriots will have tough decisions to make and tough conversations to undergo, with Brady set to enter free agency in 2020.
Even so, retired Patriots linebacker Willie McGinest thinks Brady will stay in New England. McGinest previously explained why Brady probably isn’t headed to L.A., a city which Brady’s wife, Gisele, doesn’t like. But on Saturday ahead of the Patriots’ playoff matchup against the Titans, McGinest went a step further to explain why Brady probably isn’t leaving New England. Though, he also explained what the Patriots and Brady will have to overcome.
“I’m gonna say, no,” McGinest said when asked whether this season will be Brady’s last in New England. “But there’s a lot of things that need to line up with Tom Brady and this organization going forward. … He’s not under contract, I don’t think the hometown discount is gonna happen anymore. … There’s a lot of players that make more than Tom with less accomplishments. I think that plays a big factor. The other thing is will they surround Tom with the resources he needs? He wants to win, he definitely wants to play football — he’s adamant about that. … The house being on the market, Alex (Guerrero’s) house being on the market, plays no factor in his decision making — that was a family thing.”
Brady and the Patriots are looking great uncertainty after they lose next.
