Tom Brady Reportedly Planning Camp with Teammates Amid Rumors of QB's Future

New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady has reportedly "made arrangements" for a summer passing camp with his NFL teammates.

Mike Florio of Pro Football Talk provided the update after ESPN's Adam Schefter reported earlier Wednesday that Brady has "not committed to playing in 2018."

Multiple sources told Schefter they expect Brady to play next season despite the lack of a private or public guarantee from the five-time Super Bowl champion.

"I believe he's going to be there," one source said. "However, having said that, we're dealing with a human being. Things can change. But I do believe he will be playing."

Michael Giardi of NBC Sports Boston received similar information from Brady's teammates:

The speculation about his future came out of the blue because the 40-year-old California native—who will turn 41 at the beginning of August—has previously suggested he's expecting to play for a long time.

Last May, he told Ian O'Connor of ESPN.com his passion for football remained strong and that he planned to keep suiting up at least into his mid-40s:

"If you said 50, then you can say 60, too, then 70. I think 45 is a pretty good number for right now. I know the effort it takes to be 40. ... My love for the sport will never go away. I don't think at 45 it will go away. At some point, everybody moves on. Some people don't do it on their terms. I feel I want it to be on my terms. I've got to make appropriate choices on how to do that, how to put myself in the best position to reach my long-term goals."

His on-field performance has remained among the league's elite too. He completed 66.3 percent of his throws for 4,577 yards with 32 touchdowns and eight interceptions while leading the Patriots to a 13-3 record last season. They advanced to the Super Bowl for the third time in four years before losing to the Philadelphia Eagles.

So, even though Brady hasn't explicitly said he'll be back, it would be a shock if he's not out there for New England to open the 2018 campaign.
