Brady, who turns 41 in August, added that he has considered hanging up his cleats to spend more time with his family.

"I think about it more now than I used to. I think I'm seeing that there's definitely an end coming, sooner rather than later," Brady said. "As long as I'm still loving it. As long as I'm loving the training and preparation and willing to make the commitment.
