MINNEAPOLIS — Win or lose, Tom Brady said he will be back for next season.
The 40-year-old quarterback, who won the league’s MVP award Saturday and played for the Super Bowl LII title Sunday, told Westwood One’s Jim Gray prior to the game that he will play in 2018.
“Yeah, you’re gonna see me playing football next year,” Brady said. “I don’t envision not playing. You’re at the end of the race but you’ve got your biggest mountain to climb right at the end. Hopefully, all the lessons we’ve learned have allowed us to be at our very best for this moment. And that’s what it’s going to take and that’s what we’re prepared for and that’s what I go out and expect our team to do.”
