It's a business, and Brady knows that. Especially for someone who unseated a former #1 overall pick that was still in his prime (Drew Bledsoe.)
Brady will play 5 more years -- tops. I don't see the Patriots remaining an elite team in the next 5 years, and even if they do, Brady won't continue to play after another super bowl ring or after multiple seasons of coming up short.
The smartest thing a franchise can do is pick up a younger, talented, QB just when their current starter is exiting his prime.
The Niners did it in the late 80s by picking up Steve Young (who could've started immediately on at least 20 other teams) and that pro-longed the Niner's dominance an extra 7-8 years.
