During the 2015 season, the 39-year-old quarterback had 4,770 passing yards for 36 touchdowns and seven interceptions. He led the Patriots to an AFC Championship appearance, but lost to the Broncos, 20-18.

In August 2015, Brady wrote he thinks he has seven or eight years left in his career. In Sept. 2014, he also said he’ll retire when he ‘sucks’. In light of his extension and recent performances, it may be a while.
