Since the Patriots' shocking first-round loss on Sunday, players, media and fans alike having been wondering exactly what Tom Brady will be doing come next season. Hall of Fame running back (among other things) OJ Simpson believes that Brady will not only be playing in the NFL (as he's repeatedly insisted), but will remain with the only team he has known throughout his 20-year career thus far.

Wow. Strong words coming from the Bills legend, who has certainly never told a lie before, and likely won't start now! Simpson makes...surprisingly good points here, citing the fact that other teams are not going to want to sign Brady just for one year, especially if they have a better quarterback or one they need to develop.

Brady will be playing, of course. It's simply a matter of where, per his Instagram post.

I just wanted to say to all of our fans, THANK YOU! After a few days of reflection, I am so grateful and humbled by the unconditional support you have shown me the past two decades. Running out of that tunnel every week is a feeling that is hard to explain. I wish every season ended in a win, but that’s not the nature of sports (or life). Nobody plays to lose. But the reward for working hard is just that, the work!! I have been blessed to find a career I love, teammates who go to battle with me, an organization that believes in me, and fans who have been behind us every step of the way. Every one of us that works at Gillette Stadium strived to do their best, spent themselves at a worthy cause, and prepared to fail while daring greatly (h/t Teddy Roosevelt). And for that, we’ve been rewarded with something that the scoreboard won’t show - the satisfaction of knowing we gave everything to each other in pursuit of a common goal. That is what TEAM is all about. In both life and football, failure is inevitable. You dont always win. You can, however, learn from that failure, pick yourself up with great enthusiasm, and place yourself in the arena again. And that’s right where you will find me. Because I know I still have more to prove.

The 42 year old quarterback may be aging, but he still has a chance to have a bounce-back season and prove he can still be a top QB in the NFL, regardless of his age. But if the proper home don't fit, Brady just might quit.
