Patriots quarterback Tom Brady plans to play on for '10 more years'

New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady says he has no plans to retire and aims to play for "10 more years".

The 38-year-old is tied for second in the league with 14 touchdown passes while throwing just one interception.

"I'd like to play a long time," Brady said during a conference call with New York Jets reporters.

"There's a lot that goes into playing well. I've played with a lot of great team-mates, but I want to play for a long time. Maybe 10 more years. I think that's probably what my goal is."

When asked if he was being serious about playing another decade, Brady insisted that is definitely his plan.

"Well, it's not always up to me," Brady added. "That's what my goals are, so that's just what I'm hoping. And it will take a lot to achieve that. Obviously, a team has to want you, but I love playing this sport. I love making a commitment to my team-mates and my coaches and hopefully I can do it for a long time."

His 1,699 yards passing rank him fifth in the NFL, and he has completed 70.6 per cent of his passes.

Brady's Patriots (5-0) take on the AFC East-rival Jets (4-1) on Sunday at MetLife Stadium. New England have the second-ranked overall offense, while New York have the best defense.

"They're loaded with players and that's, I think, why they're tops in the league in basically every category that you look at," Brady said. "So it's a big challenge, and hopefully we can nail things down by the time the game kicks off Sunday."
