"I could play Bill Belichick," Wahlberg told Variety's Marc Malkin. "I would love to play Bill Belichick.
"I'm working on the press conferences as we speak. The next five interviews that I do, I'm going to be Bill Belichick. 'On to Cincinnati,' a yes or no answer, and I'm gonna annoy a lot of people."
We're no casting directors, but that doesn't seem like the greatest match. Belichick turns 70 in April and Wahlberg is closer to Brady's age at 50 years old.
Regardless, former Patriots wide receiver Julian Edelman appears to be on board with the idea.
"Have your people call my people @markwahlberg," he wrote on Twitter.

As for Brady snubbing New England in his official retirement announcement, Wahlberg isn't sweating it.

“He’ll always be a Patriot,” Wahlberg told Malkin. “I don’t think one season, one championship, or two seasons in Tampa is going to take away from the legacy and his mark that he put on New England and in the NFL as a whole. So he’ll always be a Patriot.”
