Tom Brady secured his legacy with another Super Bowl victory in 2015. The New England Patriots quarterback earned his fourth ring of his career and is now being considered one of the greatest of all time. Brady has nothing left to prove in his career and at 37, many wonder just how much longer the veteran will opt to play for. According to Brady, retirement is not even in the picture.
Brady proved once again just how great of a quarterback he is after leading the Patriots to a 28-24 victory. He came a long way from the beginning of the season when he was benched at one point for rookie Jimmy Garoppolo who is considered the future of the quarterback throne for New England. Brady dispelled any talk that he was losing his ways as the Patriots went on to win the next 10 of 11 games along with the Super Bowl and he has no plans of slowing down any time soon.
"No. I've got a lot of football left," Brady said, per the team's official website . "It's hard to play this game and it take a big commitment, a lot of sacrifice. For all the players that have played in the past and I've looked up to and admired and a lot of the players now who I look up to and admire -- it's a big challenge and it's incredible to experience this feeling once and I've been fortunate to play on four really great teams, so I'm really blessed."
Brady will indeed return for another season in the NFL, but the Patriots could look drastically different with certain moves being rumored. The offense might see some new faces as the Boston Herald has speculated that wide receivers like Danny Amendola and Aaron Dobson could be released while trades for players like Larry Fitzgerald are the priority. Julian Edleman and Brandon LaFell were the top two receivers in 2014 while Amendola put together another disappointing season despite his one touchdown in the Super Bowl.
The run game will see some new faces as well. It is unclear if LeGarrette Blount will return or now. The Patriots brought back the running back in the middle of the year following his release from the Steelers and relied heavily on him. Shane Vereen and Stevan Ridley will also be free agents this offseason and are unlikely to return as well.
Darrelle Revis is last remaining question mark for the Patriots. The risk to bring on the cornerback paid off in the end, but Revis is a free agent this offseason as New England is unlikely to pick up his option. The Buffalo Bills and New York Jets are chasing the cornerback with big money which could hurt the Patriots' chances of retaining him.
