Bruschi Contemplates Retirement, But Not Too Hard

The 2009 football season will be a significant one for Tedy Bruschi, a 36-year-old linebacker for the New England Patriots. The 14-year player is entering the final year of his contract and has a lot to think about concerning retirement over the next year, but that doesn’t mean Bruschi is letting these thoughts come between him and the game he loves. When recently asked if he was considering retirement when his contract expires at the end of this season, Bruschi said, “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.”

Tedy Bruschi has been a fan favorite of the New England Patriots since 1996, when the linebacker was drafted out of Arizona by the Patriots in the third round of the NFL Draft (86th overall). Bruschi has played through numerous injuries and even came back into the league after suffering a stroke in 2005, becoming one of the most recognized and respected players in the entire NFL.
