Tom Brady is in his 21st NFL season, and he's starting to make people question how many more years he has left to play football.
Tom Brady is 43 years old. When his current $50 million contract with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers expires, Brady will be approaching 45 years old.
Let's answer the big question of how many more years Tom Brady has left in the NFL.
Tom Brady's stats since turning 40 years old
2017 NFL Season:

Julian Edelman was the only receiver to reach 100 receptions. The next closest player to Edelman was running back James White with 72 receptions.

Brady's contract is through the 2021 NFL Season. He has the opportunity to be the oldest NFL player to win a Super Bowl. He is currently the oldest player to be on an active NFL Roster. At the age of 43, Tom Brady has turned around a Tampa Bay Buccaneers team and is about to take them into the playoffs for the first time since the 2007 NFL Season.
When will Tom Brady hang it up and call it a career?
Tom Brady is on contract through the 2021 NFL Season, but could we see him play longer. Brady has went on record stating that he would like to play well into his 40's. If Brady keeps playing at the level he is playing at now we could see the Tampa Bay Buccaneers resign him for another year.
We could see Tom Brady retire if the Tampa Bay Buccaneers win the Super Bowl this year or next year. If Brady does not win the Super Bowl in the next two seasons we could see him play one more year. This would take Tom Brady into 2022 NFL Season.
The 2022 NFL Season would be the last season before Tom Brady hangs it up and calls it a career. As long as the veteran quarterback can stay free of any serious injury, the 2022 NFL Season would be his last. Tom Brady will go down as the G.O.A.T. and will walk away from football. To cap off his farewell tour, Tom Brady will lead the Tampa Bay Buccaneers to a Super Bowl and walk out into the sunset with his seventh Super Bowl ring.
