“He’s coming back. He’s coming back.”
Those were the words Patriots wide receiver Julian Edelman said while sitting court side next to soon-to-be free agent quarterback Tom Brady, at the Syracuse-UNC basketball game earlier this month. While it’s still uncertain what Brady will decide — and according to his former offensive coordinator Charlie Weis, Brady texted him that “nobody knows anything,” — many are anticipating his decision once he officially becomes a free agent on March 18.
That includes Brady’s current teammates, who have been making efforts to get him to stay in New England.
