‘They also extended Brady this winter through the next five years.’
That would make Brady 40 at the end of the contract. Not many quarterbacks are playing at 40. I see Brady with 3 productive seasons left. The Patriots are definitely looking to the future.
Some do, but no question there are long-term, injury-substitution, and/or winning the first-backup QB opportunities for Tebow there.
Short of injury, however, he’s unlikely to get actual playing time for the next few years without being flexible on position. New England does that all the time, however, and he’ll have to be amenable to that.
