New England Patiriots owner Robert Kraft is determined that quarterback Tom Brady will remain with the team for as long as he's in the NFL.

Brady is entering the final year of his contract. 

“He’s going to be here,” Kraft told the New York Times. “I love the guy. We’re so lucky to have him. I have an emotional attachment because I remember him coming in as the fourth quarterback, being a skinny beanpole of a kid.”

Brady is due $6.5 million this season.

He's reportedly unhappy with the pace of talks. No deal is imminent.

The Patriots could always franchise Brady, if the franchise tag exists for 2011, but it's not expected to come to that.

“In my mind, he will be,” Kraft said. “One way or another. I believe he wants to be here. We want him here. We have a complicated situation we’re dealing with. There are a lot of forces at work. One way or another it will work out.”

Everyone except the Boston media (and Blond Mortensen) pretty much knows that. The real issue is why the Boston media wants this to play out like a long drawn out soap opera. Outside of their well known laziness the Boston media (and blondie) should answer questions about their methods.

I wish him only the best. Get well, young man.
This stuff happens, didn't cause Terrell Davis to retire, as that actually was the knee injury he sustained while tackling a Jet on an INT - that being said he was always and the donkeys cognizant of this issue with Daivs as well...migraines and nuerological problems are real for damn sure and don't make an NFL players life any easier - and seriously "karma" - give it a rest already - Favre's not the devil, hasn't been sighted hanging with Lucifer or sacrificying any virgins - well lately anyway - that was the "before PG Favre" that's marketed for mass consumption...
