Sounds like former New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady has finally revealed his Super Bowl LX pick.
After previously refusing to reveal who he’s rooting for in the upcoming Super Bowl 60 matchup between the Patriots and the Seattle Seahawks, Brady changed his tune in a Friday, February 6, post on his Instagram story.
“You know I got your back RKK,” Brady posted, along with a photo of the former quarterback and Patriots owner Robert Kraft. “Get that 7th ring so we can match.”
“I bet even Roger is rooting for you,” Brady wrote in a separate post, which included a picture of Brady, Kraft and NFL commissioner Roger Goodell.
Brady — who won six Super Bowls in his 20 years as a former Patriots quarterback — said on a recent episode of the “Let’s Go!” Sirius XM podcast with Jim Gray that he doesn’t have a “dog in the fight” in the 2026 Super Bowl.
“I don’t have a dog in the fight in this one,” Brady, who now serves as a TV analyst and a minority owner for the Las Vegas Raiders, said at the time. “May the best team win.”
The response didn’t sit well with some of Brady’s former teammates. Vince Wilfork and Rob Gronkowski both called Brady out for his middle-of-the-road answer, describing his response as “bullcrap” and “political.”
“That’s bullcrap Tom,” Wilfork said during an interview on Boston radio station WEEI. “All that political — this ain’t political. It ain’t political, what it is. Raiders ain’t in it. Say what it is, what you see.”
One of the WEEI hosts then said Brady should be rooting for the Patriots if he wants to be a “Patriot for life.”
“At the end of the day, if you’re a Patriot for life, you know what it is,” Wilfork responded. “Don’t give me that political bullcrap. That just what it is. If you don’t think we’re going to win, just pick Seattle then. Don’t straddle the fence.”
Gronkowski — on a recent episode of the “Up & Adams” podcast with Kay Adams — said he hasn’t spoken with Brady about the upcoming Super Bowl and suggested that Brady’s stance might come from him wanting to be in the Super Bowl himself.
“He probably wants to be the quarterback,” Gronkowski said on the podcast. “He’s that competitive. He probably wants to be the guy in the Super Bowl right now.”
Gronkowski has come out with his pick for the Super Bowl, and unsurprisingly will be cheering on his former team the whole way.
Current Patriots wide receiver Stefon Diggs — who is in a relationship with rapper Cardi B — seemed to brush off Brady’s comment.
“Everybody’s different,” Diggs said. “I don’t really think too much about it. Everybody’s opinion is everybody’s opinion. Tom won a lot in New England, but he’s also part-owner of the Raiders. So I don’t expect him to have a dog in the fight in this situation. Your time with a team doesn’t determine your future I guess.”
The Patriots and Seahawks kick off Super Bowl LX on Sunday at 6:30 p.m. on NBC.
