    Two high level years left. After that, if he really wants to continue to play it would probably be a mistake.

    2 years. The CBA expires in 2021 and i look for an extended strike/lockout. As previously noted, it's not like he needs the money. Why go through the turmoil of a strike when there's no need to?

    Several years ago Ben stated a goal of matching Bradshaw's 4 rings. After winning his 2nd consecutive and 4th total SB Championship he'll retire after 2020.

    Tom Brady is protected by the refs.......
    QB's like Ben and Cam newton are on the exempt list

    I don't know about that. Ben had several calls go his way last year.

    Ben will be QB as long as their continues to be a Rooney sanctuary.

    Let's not forget the impact of Munch being gone, if I recall our oline had issues before he got here and turned them into one of the best if not the best.

    Actually, Ben said he wanted to win one more than Terry did so he may need to go seven more years.:shrug::hmm:

    2 prime years.

    3-4 serviceable years total. And that's optimistic. I don't see him playing past 40. Truthfully, I don't really see him playing (well) past 38.

    But I'd be happy to eat crow.

    1 more game. Since we all have a deep hatred for the Patriots it only seems right that they annoy us one step further. They knock Ben out for season in first game and he never comes back.

    Above comment is pure bull****:)

    Apparently right now 3 would be a good guess.

    I think he's even tougher and more internally competitive than everyone realizes. He may be around a lot longer than people think.
