The Facts: Brady’s agent, Don Yee, said he expects his client Tom Brady to return for 2018 season -- and beyond. “Tom’s intentions have not changed,” Yee said. “He’s consistently said he’ll play beyond this contract and into his mid 40s, or until he feels he isn’t playing at a championship level. I understand the constant speculation, but this is one point he’s been firm about.”

Diehards Line:Brady's current contract has two years remaining on it. Just last week, Schefter cited multiple sources said they believed Brady would return for 2018, but didn’t know it. One source estimated there was a “75 percent” chance that Brady would be back. Go ahead and bump that back up to 100 percent until you hear otherwise.
