Julian Edelman has a level of understanding for his good friend Tom Brady right now.
Brady, after 22 incredible seasons, decided to hang up his cleats so he could spend more time with his family. He’s 44-years-old and retirement is somewhat expected at his age, but he’s also coming off of a tremendous season and it’s clear he can still play. Brady is conflicted and he admitted that while leaving the door open for a return in the future.
Edelman retired last season due to injuries, but he still had the itch to continue playing and he still likely had some more gas in his tank. Both players are fierce competitors and both players knew that they have more they can give.
