Report: Telling Detail Emerges From Tom Brady's Final Years With Patriots
A lot of factors went into Tom Brady's decision to leave the New England Patriots last year and sign with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.thespun.com
The premise is the Pats started rebuilding expecting TB to be done after 2018, not that everyone shouldn't plan for their 40 yr old star to keep playing like a 30 yr old star indefinitely. Everything I read here sounds like the Pats were being responsible, Brady wanted more time (and I do believe he earned that consideration) and inevitably everyone could not eat their cake and have it too.
But Breer (or is it Greer, whatever) says "The Pats did it to themselves".
After reading that I must say, I wish that article was as short in length as it was in content.
2018, Cooks, Garoppolo, Brady.
There I wrote the same article with the same content but saves everybody some time.
