Rob was recently asked possibly retiring from the game altogether.

“I don’t really think about it. Every single day I’m with [Tom] Brady and he’s talking about how he’s going to play six more years,” Rob said (via ESPN). “So like, in my mind, how can I stop playing before Brady? I came into the league like 50 years after him. I plan on playing as long as I possibly can. I love the game of football. It’s my first love. I put football first, before everything.”
