New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady hasn't publicly said whether he intends to play in 2018, sparking intense speculation on whether the 40-year-old may decide to retire.
Brady's agent addressed the intrigue by saying that Brady does indeed intend to play in 2018 and beyond, according to a report.
Tom Brady's agent, Don Yee, said he expects his client Tom Brady to return for 2018 season. Just last week, multiple sources said they believed Brady would return for 2018, but didn't know it. One source estimated there was a "75 percent" chance that Brady would be back. He is. -- Adam Schefter (@AdamSchefter) April 23, 2018
"Tom's intentions have not changed," Yee espn.com on Monday. "He's consistently said he'll play beyond this contract and into his mid-40s, or until he feels he isn't playing at a championship level. I understand the constant speculation, but this is one point he's been firm about."
Brady, who will turn 41 in August, will play in his 19th season and continues to play at a very high level. He threw for 4,577 yards with 32 touchdown passes and eight interceptions while leading the Patriots to the Super Bowl last season. He won his third NFL MVP last season.
