All good things always comes to an end. Nothing lasts forever and the New England Patriots knows that all too well. With their superstar and future Hall of Famer quarterback Tom Brady turning 40 years old by the time the 2017-2018 NFL season starts, the New England Patriots know that the end is near the horizon.

Tom Brady will be turning 40 years old by summer's end. While he's still playing at a very high level, with no signs of slowing down, and arguably still the best quarterback out there despite his age, the reality is that father time will definitely catch up with him and the end is near. The New England Patriots know that and are on a win now mode, determined not to let those last few precious years of Tom Brady go to waste, according to a report from the SB Nation.

For more than a decade, the New England Patriots have always remained competitive year in and year out, winning five Super Bowl titles along the way. Of course it helps if you have Tom Brady as your quarterback. But aside from Tom Brady, the New England Patriots have always made smart moves thru trade or free agents singings.

Now that Tom Brady is nearing the twilight of his career, the New England Patriots are on a win mode now are doing things that they don't usually do. Just last Thursday, the New England Patriots signed cornerback Stephon Gilmore to a five year, $60 million deal that includes $40 million guaranteed, via a report from SB Nation.

Stephen Gilmore is considered the top cornerback in the free agent market. The five year deal given to Stephen Gilmore is the biggest the New England Patriots had spent in the last two off seasons.

Then on Friday, the New England Patriots just traded for one the NFL's best wide receiver in Brandin Cooks. Just imagine the how many games the New England Patriots would win with Tom Brady throwing to a wide receiver who is considered one the most dangerous deep threats in the NFL.

In just two days, the New England Patriots not only have gotten younger, but also gotten stronger with the acquisition of Stephon Gilmore and Brandin Cooks. The rich only get richer. Or in this case, what Tom Brady wants, Tom Brady gets.
