“I think that’s the great part for me — I don’t know. I think that’s been a unique situation that I’ve been in,” Brady said Wednesday morning in his weekly appearance on sports radio WEEI’s “The Greg Hill Show.”
“I think when you commit to a team for a certain amount of years, you kind of feel like your responsibility is to always fulfill the contract. For me, it’s been good because I’m just taking it day by day and I’m enjoying what I have. I don’t know what the future holds, and the great part is, for me, football at this point is all borrowed time.
“I never expected to play 20 years. I’m playing on a great team. It’s just been an incredible 20 years of my life — to play for Mr. Kraft, and Jonathan, and the Kraft family, and for Coach Belichick, and to have so much success is a dream come true.”
“One day I’ll wake up and feel like that will be enough. When that day comes, that day comes. I don’t know if it will be after this year. I don’t know if it will be five years from now. But I don’t have to determine those things right now either,” Brady said on the radio show. “That’s kind of a good part where I’m at. So I think just taking advantage of the opportunity that I have this year and do the very best I can do. Those decisions come at the more appropriate times.”
Brady, who has previously said he hopes to play until he’s 45, agreed to a revamped contract in August.
