Could Devin McCourty Retire After Super Bowl LIII? 'I Don't Know For Sure'
BOSTON (CBS) – Much of the media reports speculating about the future of key members of the New England Patriots centers on Tom Brady and Rob Gronkowski. But one team captain could be pondering his own future based on comments he made at Super Bowl Opening Night.
NFL Network host Deion Sanders said to Devin McCourty Monday night "I heard you said you may retire if you win it." McCourty didn't deny the possibility.
"I don't know for sure," McCourty responded. "I do look at it if we can win this game, win it with my brother, I don't know what else I could do that would top that. I'm just trying to make sure I enjoy this season and enjoy these last couple of days with these guys."
Jason McCourty was asked about his brother's possible retirement.
"I'm not talking retirement and all that. You guys will have to find Dev around the hotel and ask him to further go on about his comments," Jason said.
"He's a drama guy so I'm not surprised at all," Jason joked when asked if he was surprised about Devin's comments.
As for Brady, he said in an interview with ESPN there is "zero" chance he retires after the Super Bowl. Gronkowski was asked about the possibility he walks away following the season.
"I don't know. I don't know," he said. "I'm thinking about how to get myself to full-go in the game."
