Patriots safety Devin McCourty says he'll return for 10th season

Safety Devin McCourty, who said he might retire if the Patriots won Super Bowl LIII, will be back for a 10th season in New England.

"Yeah, I'm gonna play," McCourty told the Sports Spectrum podcast in an interview published Thursday.

"It was media night when Deion [Sanders] said that to me, and it's like, 'Yeah man, if we win a Super Bowl, I don't know what else can top that.' And I think in that moment I kind of forgot like, I don't play this game just to win Super Bowls. There's so much more that comes from me playing the game that I love.
