The New England Patriots aren't going to shove quarterback Tom Brady out the door as he approaches the twilight of his playing career.
In an interview with NFL Network's Andrea Kremer, Patriots team president Jonathan Kraft said the team is prepared to let Brady decide when his time in New England is over. The Patriots shared the interview on Twitter:
"I think [he] has earned the right to have that be a decision he makes when he wants to make it," Kraft said of Brady's eventual retirement (via ESPN.com's Mike Reiss).
