Don’t expect New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady to make a retirement announcement anytime soon. Brady, who turned 42 in August, intends to play in NFL in 2020 as he still has “more to prove.”

Following the Pats’ wild-card loss against Tennessee Titans this past weekend, rumors surfaced that Brady could step away from football. However, the iconic QB shot down the speculations on Wednesday with a letter to fans posted on his Instagram page.

Brady thanked the fans for their support and said that the failure in the playoffs wouldn’t discourage him.

“In both life and football, failure is inevitable,” he added. “You don’t always win. You can, however, learn from that failure, pick yourself up with great enthusiasm, and place yourself in the arena again. And that’s right where you will find me. Because I know I still have more to prove.”

We now know that Tom Brady will remain in the NFL, but where he will play remains unknown. He still hasn’t signed a contract extension with Pats and is set to become a free agent in the offseason. While it may seem improbable to see Brady in another jersey just a year ago, now that seems like a legitimate possibility.

While there is no clear indication where Brady could end up if he leaves New England, teams like Chicago Bears and Los Angeles, who are considered to be a quality QB from contention, have emerged as possible destinations.

Although he was named NFL MVP Award for 2017 and got his New England Patriots to another Super Bowl appearance last season, Tom Brady finds himself low on the list of highest paid quarterback in the league. Patriots are well aware of that and recently decided to give Brady an opportunity to earn more money in 2018.

The 41-year-old is expected to earn a $14 million base salary according to his contract, alongside $1 million roster bonus. With these added incentives, he can now get his salary to $20 million. It isn’t strange for Patriots to give their players salary increases in incentives, since tight end Rob Gronkowski could get his salary of $5.25 million to $10.75 million last season on the same way.

Despite getting this potential salary bump, Tom Brady might also sign a new deal with the Patriots in the near future. Brady has been reportedly asking for a new contract, and the organization wouldn’t have anything against of accommodating their franchise’s centerpiece. The problem, however, is determining a value of such a deal.

Less accomplished and still unimproved QBs like Minnesota Vikings’ Kirk Cousins or San Francisco 49ers’ Jimmy Garoppolo received deals that will pay them close to $30 million a year. But they are both young and unlike and fit in their team’s long-term plans. On the other hand, no one knows how long will Brady be among the top QBs in the league. It isn’t like he is making the prediction any easier.

In 2017, he had 4,577 yards passing and 32 touchdowns, something that we never saw from a 40-year-old quarterback. Pats will surely hope that he can continue with the same pace; at least for few more years.
