Tom Brady came out yesterday and said he wants to “play for a long time”… the obvious question then is how much of that time will be spent with the Patriots? Brady’s contract runs through 2014, and working off of Brady’s quote I would assume that would mean he wants a new contract after that. What will the Patriots do though? The Pats have shown that they will choose what is best for the team over loyalty. Richard Seymour, Mike Vrable, Deon Branch, and Randy Moss are a few big names that were shown the door or not asked back by the Patriots, in their seemingly never-ending quest to get younger. Will the Patriots go against their own pattern for the best player in their history? Or will the Pats fans feel like the Colts fans this year watching their hero in a 49er’s jersey after two years?
