Brady has consistently called Patriots fans the best in football throughout his nearly two decades as the team’s starting quarterback. If he ends up leaving New England, it won’t be due to a lack of support from those outside the organization.

That said, there are questions about whether or not Bill Belichick and the Patriots are willing to make the type of commitment to a 43-year-old quarterback that Brady is seeking. Brady also sparked some rumors about him potentially heading to another AFC team with a public appearance he made over the weekend, and speculation continues to grow that he could leave New England.

In all likelihood, Brady wants a better supporting cast around him in 2020 more than he wants top dollar. He has more money than he knows what to do with at this point, and his top priority almost certainly remains adding to his massive pile of hardware.
