"Maybe 10 more years," he replied, via NJ.com.
Brady, 38, is playing some of his best football ever in his 16th season. He's said in the past that he wants to play into his 40s, though he backtracked on the topic last month. He also said he would vote for Donald Trump before walking that back. Brady can be a slippery quote when talking to strangers with digital recorders.
"It's not always up to me; that's what my goals are," he added. "That's just what I'm hoping. It'll take a lot to achieve that. Obviously, a team has to want you. I love playing this sport. I love making the commitment to my teammates and my coaches, and hopefully I can go for a long time."
