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!
