If it’s up to Kraft, he won’t wear the uniform of another team. He told Peter King, “Anyone who’s done that has earned the right to control his future after 20 years. And you know, my hope and prayer is number one, he play for the Patriots. Or number two, he retires. He has the freedom to decide what he wants to do and what’s in his own best personal interest.”

I totally understand where Kraft is coming from. I’d be right there with him if I was standing in his shoes. Brady is the face of the Patriots.

He’s been the face of the team for nearly two decades, and he’s brought the organization six rings. It’s tough to envision him playing for somebody else.

As somebody with no dog in the fight, I hope like hell we don’t ever see Brady play for another team. That’s just something that’ll never feel right.

Brady throwing footballs for a different team is right at the top of the list.

We’ll see what happens, but Brady’s future is going to be one of the biggest stories of the offseason.
