I don't get paid to think my job here is Troll Radar, you just created a blip.I think that’s him thanking the Patriots organization at the end of it like he’s leaving what y’all think?

There will be all kinds of wild rumors between now and when something is decided. I suggest you believe nothing until you read it from a legit source. In this case the Pats website.I keep hearing people saying they don't think BB wants Brady back? Not sure if it's valid but I've heard many so called experts talking about it

His contract is not “expiring,” per se. He technically signed a 2 year extension, so 2020 and 2021 are years within his contract and it has implications on the cap in those years even after the void occurs. He got a $13M signing bonus spread over those two cap years. When the contract voids, that number will accelerate fully onto this year’s cap. From a cap perspective, the void functions no differently than if the Pats had cut him. The primary cap advantage of the deal for the Pats was in 2019.Any idea why 13 mill of dead money is tied to his expiring contract? Usually dead money relates to terminated contracts or contracts sent to other teams. I would think all money in a contact would have to hit cap years within the contract.

Why are they voiding it? Gentlemen's agreement?His contract is not “expiring,” per se.

The contract was intentionally structured that way for cap management purposes.Why are they voiding it? Gentlemen's agreement?
Clarification part 2 - the bonus was $20.25M total, so there was another $6.75M on the 2019 cap, as well.His contract is not “expiring,” per se.

Brady is more limited in his long term availability.
Sadly, at 43, Brady is also one nasty hit away from retirement anyway.
