Despite recent talks about his retirement, it looks like New England Patriots’ wideout Julian Edelman believes there is still a lot of football left in him.
Edelman, who turns 35 in a few months, recently made an appearance on Barstool Sports’ podcast “Pardon My Take” and confirmed he is still not ready to walk away from NFL.
“I don’t know, we’re not there yet,” said Edelman when asked retirement. “Right now, it’s a time … This whole year was so jacked up. It was so long, I just need to decompress for a little bit.”
Edelman didn’t give a definitive answer about whether he’ll play in 2021, but according to this, we will get to see the LIII Super Bowl MVP on the field for at least one more season.
One big reason why Julian Edelman is more likely to return is the way he ended 2020. He played only six games, his fewest as a pro while having just 21 catches for 315 receptions and zero touchdowns.
Also, New England is going through a transitional period and can’t afford to lose Edelman, who is both a leader in the locker room and someone they can rely on when he’s on the field.
