The Patriots would never let the GOAT just walk away. If they were going to do that, they would have kept Cassel and traded Brady.
The other end to that is that Brady is not going to screw over the team that drafted him as that was a sour spot for him, or the team that stuck with him instead of Bledsoe, and stuck with him after a horrific injury.
He is going to retire a Patriot.
Jim Donaldson's article in today's ProJo was the best on the Brady Contract situation. Sorry, but I do not have a link.
And let's not forget that he still carries something of a grudge against his beloved 49ers—after all, they were in the market for a quarterback that year . . . and passed over the GOAT for a JAG.
one person familiar with the talks said there is ongoing dialogue that he described as positive and, while no deal is imminent, one now is within reach.
And yet the boobs at espn continue to pay guys like Clayton, for stirring up nonsense... its typical espn... I was not worried about him holding out, I think its usual Espn BS.... just cant understand why Clayton has a job..
So even if he won't hold out, we're not buying the contention that the relationship "is as positive as it has been." Unless, of course, it wasn't as positive in the past as we'd all been led to believe.
Where did this "discontent" crap come from in the first place? I'm really interested to know. To my knowledge Brady hasn't done a single thing to suggest his unhappiness with the franchise. Where are these idiots getting this idea from?

I wonder if this is all a setup.
Brady leaks "discontent" to a gullible media. They want it to be true so much they run with it.
If Brady can't get done, all the others don't get done because everyone is waiting on the other guys.
Finish the deal right before training camp so that the other guys waste time in training camp working on the contract.
A low contract number strains the Colts and "payme". A higher number forces a big number on the Colts.
In the end it is all media games and the story likely remains as Schefter put it:
"If a deal cannot be struck, it will be primarily because of how complex the contract is and how difficult it is to complete it without knowing the specifics of the NFL's next collective bargaining agreement."
