New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady may have put a clearer end date on his career.
During an interview with his wife Gisele on episode five of “Tom vs. Time,” of which Patriots Wire got an advance screening on Friday, Brady opens negotiation with his wife, who clearly wants more of her husband’s time than he’s willing to give while he’s playing quarterback in the NFL.
“Two more Super Bowls,” Brady told Gisele.
“I mean, he can have as many Super Bowls as he likes,” Gisele responded immediately to the camera.
Brady will play in Super Bowl LII on Sunday, which will be his eighth Super Bowl appearance.
The interview for “Tom vs. Time” took place in Costa Rica before the 2017 season began, which means Brady is entering his first of those two Super Bowls, for which he bargained. Of course, that’s assuming he keeps his promise.
“He did tell me he was just going to play for 10 years. I just want to say that,” Gisele said, adding that she was rooting for him to be done after the 10th season. “Let’s go. I’m ready. But then he was like, ‘Nah.’ Yeah, he said that.”
She added: “Football, as far as I’m concerned is his first love. I think it’s his main love.”
Brady chuckles in the video, but doesn’t respond. The episode then cuts to another interview with Brady.
“Football is my first love,” Brady said. “I fell in love with the sport when I was 4-years-old when I was watching Joe Montana. And I was able to build a relationship with the game.”
The episode depicts some of that negotiation and navigation between Gisele and her husband. Brady said this week at a press conference he wants to play into his mid forties. He has previously said he wants to get to 45 years old and evaluate from there.
“It takes up a lot of my time,” Brady said sitting next Gisele in interview in Costa Rica in the docu-series. “But there will come a time when that ends.”
The interviewer pries: So when do you think that will end?
Brady then flicks off the camera in a playful manner with a big smile.
The fifth episode of the documentary series will air on Super Bowl Sunday.
