This was a bad season for the patriots in general.

Tom didn't want to stay. It's just the fact. He wanted to go somewhere for a few years, ring out the cash, and play pass heavy to pad his career stats. Tampa is a decent option, except he may be under pressure all day in a pass heavy offense and may not pad the stats he's looking to pad.

He could afford to? I'm not sure what this even means. He was a 6th round pick and was a cheap starter for NE for years. That is the only time he was thought to be making the correct money relative to his draft position and not success rate. After that, he was still a deal for the team relative to how much success he brought the franchise. He'll be a deal until he retires, he's even a deal for Tampa Bay. It doesn't matter if he could afford it, he could be making much better money and could've also been on much more competitive teams if he bounced around.

I'll give him credit for being a great coach but he has some blind spots. I always felt he was terrible drafting and getting new receivers. It was also clear that he didn't believe in Tom's training philosophy. He didn't have to wait until Tom was gone to call him the greatest. Stubborn fool.

When your losing and you need to sign players there was always faith in guy's like brady turning it around. There's two things that attract top end players, Loyalty and Winning. You think it's a coincidence Harmon, Shelton, Karras, Roberts and Van Noy are all gone? They knew the writing was on the wall, they all knew if Bill would do this to Brady, he'd do it to them. You think it's a coincidence they ended up at teams with former pats players and coaches? If Bill cannot perform without Tom his career, his reputation and his money are gone.

I'm a New England fan, one of the main reasons Brady was basically shown the exit is because Belichick doesn't want a 42 year old QB leading our offense in a nutshell. As for Tom Brady, I'm so grateful the endless success Tom brought to this franchise and I wish him nothing but success and happiness and it bothered me and still does the manner in which everyone let it go down as. Tom restructured his contract numerous times to free up money to sign better players for a better chance at a 7th superbowl. Tom was basically given an ultimatum to accept the Patriot contract ( I guarantee you regardless of what anyone says that it wasn't even close to what Tampa Bay offered ) plus never a clear indication from Belichick that he wanted Brady back, and so Tom was forced to choose what the better deal was and unfortunately Belichick lost that game of chess against Brady. Tom had two fake knees that he gave for New England and I can totally relate to Tom's decision, but Belichick is an emotionless grump who only cares about getting the best deal and cheapest price.. It all comes down to business ($). Congratulations Tampa Bay fans, I'm excited to see what Tom does for that franchise. I might even go buy his Tampa Bay jersey..

I got into sports at such a young age, so I was already a HUGe pats fan before brady. But that was when I was a little kid and I didn’t know how to think for myself. I was told that you rooted for the team that was in your area. Once I got a bit older, I realized how silly that was for someone who followed the game as closely as I did. It didn’t make sense to me that people would love players when they played for one team, and then hate them when the left( even if they were simply traded!!) That was was too fickle for me. So I realized I was always a fan of players, and I was not going to turn my back on them simply because of the business end of sports. It honestly makes me a little sick when I think of some people who only root for teams and think it’s wrong to be LOYAL to the actual human beings who we watch out on the field. I don’t want to say it’s kind of like slave mentality..but it’s...I guess I’ll say it just kind of de-humanizes the players themselves. I guess you have to have good perspective to see it that way, though. You have to be able to put yourself in the shoes of the athlete. Maybe you need to have been a somewhat high level athlete yourself to have that type of mentality. Idk. All I can really ask people is this: objectively, isn’t it kind of odd and clearly biased and close minded and just, silly? To argue how great a PLAYER is when he is on one team, but then simply because he finds himself on another team, possibly becusdr of a lack of respect from his boss( which we can all relate to..) we then argue that the player sucks all of a sudden?

Im calling it here , that Bill was 5-11 before Brady and he'll be 5 - 11 after Brady.

[@FreeSociety1]

Bill was a losing 36 . 44 with the Cleveland Brown (and without Tom Brady). Then he was 5 . 13 with the Patriots before Brady stepped onto the Football Field. That's a record of only 41 . 57. And that is a large sample size (Belichick = loser) . Tom Brady has always been a winner. He won in Michigan (20 . 6) . Then Brady won for 20 years straight, with the Patriots (despite marginal talent around him). Tom Brady will also win with the Tampa Bay Bucs too. Belichick never appreciated what he had in Tom Brady.

@jmooreyork With the 2007 squad that went 18-1? I don't know about you but Brady would probably have taken the 2008 on a similar tear, the same way he tore his acl that year. Finally Matt Cassle earned a pro bowl selection a few years later so he was not all bad. With the worst patriots offense in two decades, no Dante Scarnecchia and no good qb ready to take over, I doubt Bill and the boys will be as good as they were with Matt Castle, Escpecially when they have the hardest schedule in the league.

jmooreyork so only year that the Pat didn’t make the playoff didn’t ring a bell?

[@fazimike4437]

He will be like BROWNS when he was their coach

[@fazimike4437]

Pats will be new BROWNS because he was good coach only because of #12. Now everyone will see he is not special and Pats will look like BROWNS WHEN HE COACHED THEM.

The older you get, the more security you want. I would do the same.

[@BoleDaPole]

Brady made hundreds of millions of dollars, combined with his wife they have more money than they know what to do with. What security does he need??

[@ikigai47]

oh please. even before he got old he has more money than his grandkid's grandkid's grandkids could spend.

[@Ali-yh9qi]

This wasnt about $......it was about " feeling appreciated".

[@lenchmob0697]

@@ikigai47 yes but when you carry the team and they give you a contract with no security it just makes people feel unappreciated and why would Brady stay in New England when there are teams that want to give him security and respect for his talent

[@ikigai47]

@@lenchmob0697 - Respect yes. That was important to Brady. But security implies financial security. He already had that in spades which is why he took less money intentionally to give the Pats more cap room so they could get better players.

[@kburch2920]

I thought the real reason was Brady wanted more years and more money. Thanks for clearing up what everyone knows.

[@fazimike4437]

Belicheck is nobody without 12. They gonna look like Browns when he was their coach

[@Jadiaz-ev9hm]

I hate the Pats, and disagree with your take. BB has won with other QBs and can plug any player in at any position and they perform at high levels. Those QBs and other players go elsewhere and are so-so. BB made Brady, and I think the Pats will thrive and Brady will be ok, but nothing special. Don't get me wrong, Brady is good due to his mind, but he was a cog in a system, and he no longer has that system. In a year or 2 we will know for sure.

[@abustos87]

Tom Brady is nobody without Belichick, believe me.

[@dach829]

We will see

[@edgeknight1786]

you mean the 1994 browns where they finished 11-5? or how about the fact that he literally coached LT as both LB coach AND D-coordinator... the man can make super bowl stars and hell MVPs out of them... also look how Jimmy G is doing in San Fran... the man is flawed don't get me wrong but he can sure as hell make you a super bowl team if you give him total control...

[@edgeknight1786]

i don't think i need to tell you about LT the ONLY linebacker to win LEAGUE MVP and the second defensive player to win it as well... why do you think BB thinks LT was above all the other defensive players in this league? because LT was the fuckin GOAT of all linebackers! until another linebacker wins LEAGUE MVP will he have any grounds to stand on being compared to LT.

[@Rob954ever]

Great insight. Thanks. I always said that when Brady retires,it going to take them decades to recover. While that may be left to be seen, I believe I'm 100% correct....let's see what happens.

[@JMB7333]

Dumb owner to release the best player ever of this game…………

[@DerTranceUP]

He wasn't released. His contract was up and he didn't want to resign.
