Quarterback Tom Brady's dad, Tom Brady Sr. once predicted what would happen at the end of his tenure with the New England Patriots. In 2015, Brady Sr. sat down with NFL.com's Gregg Rosenthal and told him that he saw his son playing for years to come, but that it wouldn't happen with the Patriots.
The older Brady even went as far as to say the quarterback's tenure with the team would 'end badly' and pointed at the decision to draft backup quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo as one of the reasons. He thought the organization didn't believe his son would play into his 40s and was preparing for his replacement.
"It will end badly," he said. "It does end badly and I know that because I know what Tommy wants to do. He wants to play till he's 70." He noted the drafting of Garoppolo and said the Patriots smartly didn't want to be "caught with their pants down," as the Colts were when Peyton Manning was injured a few years ago. "It's a cold business," the senior Brady said. "And for as much as you want it to be familial, it isn't," Thomas Brady Sr. told NFL.com's Gregg Rosenthal.
