Entering his 14th NFL season, New England Patriots lineback Tedy Bruschi admits it could be his final professional season. He also admits it may not be his swansong, according to the Boston Globe.
Bruschi, whose contract expires after the 2009 season, is leaving his options open.
"I have to give them everything I have this year and only think about what’s next. I’m going to prepare myself for this season, only think about this season, and when the season is over, which is a long ways away, then you think about delving into those decisions.”
Bruschi, who turned 36 June 9, is coming off a 2008 season in which coaches credited him with 71 tackles, fourth on the team. He started 12 games before a knee injury ended his season Dec. 7 against the Seahawks. Throughout the year, Bruschi was mostly utilized on first and second down, coming off the field on third down, according to the Globe.
