The Facts:
Last night, when the Patriots drafted Arkansas QB Ryan Mallett in the third round, NFL network analyst and former Arizona Cardinals QB Kurt Warner sent Brady a text message asking him about the selection. Brady, according to Warner, was ambivalent. "I did text Tom Brady after this pick and he wanted me to know for sure that he was planning on playing 10 more years,” Warner said.

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
If he indeed plays 10 more years, the question is how many more of those seasons will be played with the Patriots. According to Profootballtalk.com's Mike Florio, some think he’s destined to finish his career in California, either with the 49ers or a team that ends up in Los Angeles. Florio went on to point out, if the antitrust lawsuit that bears his name successfully defeats any and all restrictions on free agency, the Patriots will have no way to definitely retain Brady’s rights beyond 2014, the final year of his current contract. ... For what it's worth, Brady, who will be 34 in August, told fans at a promotional event that he loves it when the Patriots pick offensive lineman. He might not have loved the Mallett selection as much.
