Joe Montana's Advice to Tom Brady on Free Agency: Don't Leave Patriots

Tom Brady has the chance to become a free agent for the first time in his 20-year career, but Joe Montana has some words of advice for the Patriots quarterback before he makes any decisions.

In an interview with NFL.com's Michael Silver, Montana shared from his own experience how change isn't always easy.

"Don't–if you don't have to. It's a process to go through, and it takes time to get used to the team. I was fortunate because [former 49ers quarterbacks coach] Paul Hackett was there running the offense, and so I was pretty familiar with probably three-quarters of the offense going in," Montana said.
