Ian's Daily Blog - Despite all the reports stating that Brady may elect to hold out when the team reports in Foxboro next week, Reiss feels that Brady won't put business before his teammates and expects him to report.

Please explain to me the irreparable damage to the team of Brady (or any veteran on the offense) not being present for the first two weeks of Training Camp. Is it really a terrible to his teamates for Brady to indicate that he wants to sign a long term deal with the team, rather than risk injury and/or free agency. Is it really a terrible message to his teamates for Brady to want this issue taken care of so that it is not a cloud over the rest of Camp, the preseason and the regular season.

I would MUCH, MUCH rather have Brady a month late for camp than have him play the season with no extension.

From Brady's persepective, and mine, it seems that it is worth a couple of weeks to try to get resolution now.

Besides, Brady has absolutely no need for two a days!

There's no "I" in team mgteich.

Ain't no "we" either.

Yeah, ask the Raiders Deus. We're not the Raiders.

Hey, I'm on record expecting Brady to be there at the start of camp. I just like that follow up line, that's all. I thought it made for one of Budweiser's better commercials.

There is an M and an E, though. What does that spell ?

mg - it's critical IMO that Brady be there because other than Moss we have rookies, second year players and a guy coming off ACL surgery. We need Brady and his WR/TE to be clicking in the first quarter of game one and that means ALL of training camp is necessary.

Why should they give him a new deal if he choses not to fulfill his opbligations for his current deal?

I did not suggest that Brady should or will skip any games, not even preseason games. he will definitely fulfill his contractual obligations.

The patriots have many times extended contracts in the summer before the last year of the contract. This would definitely not be unusual.

That's a good one snake eyes, you're one funny dude.
