Brady moves out of his NE Home or not?

[Clonamery]

Don’t they still have another home in the area?

You mean the Kraft family mansion?

If I was Brady I would go play for Dallas. He can take those losers to the promised land and I think Jerry Jones knows that. We'll see how gassed he is with a stud OL, stud RB, and real WRs. Meanwhile I expect BB and Josh to fall flat on their faces with at max an 8-8 record. The NFCW is going to steamroll us in full rebuild mode next year. Ball washers here think Stidham can carry the torch? Like it's that easy. Many on this board in are in for a rude awakening.

Cowboys seem to be all in on Dak Prescott. They aren’t going to throw him to the curb for a couple of seasons with Brady.

Nope.

They've got the $20m condo in Tribeca still.

I know you are saying that but you have failed to present a cogent argument to support it.

If coming back to NE was the first thing on his mind, why would he sell his place in Boston and move to CT right after a playoff exit? Sure, he could easily buy a place in Boston in a few months...but why not wait it out until he has a signed contract? Why pull his kids out of school?

I am not going to buy into anything until Brady opts out of his contract on March 18th. Until then, the Pats still have a very good shot at re-signing him.

I think Brady is declining, but he can still be at least an above average QB next year. He can't do it on his own anymore though. If they re-sign Brady, they need to give him some better weapons.

 

[SHOWTIME15]

I read every single one of your posts. You're just talking out of your ass, is all.

Moving is a sign that he's gone, but moving to someplace where the nearest football competitors already have their QBs, and only the Patriots are both in driving range and need a starter doesn't matter, because he can get a place.

Of course, he can get a place near Gillette, too, but that seems to be missing from the post.

No you didn't read my posts. I already said the move to CT was for Brady and his family post-football and he's just setting things up. I never said he was going to play for the NY teams. He's going to get a new place near wherever he signs. My point about him moving out of Boston is that he's thinking strongly that his team next year could be outside NE.

Nitpick because this is the Internet...

It’s not an opt-out for either side, it’s a void of the final year unless both sides agree to a renegotiation.

Brady could 1000% want to come back but if NE isn’t willing to sign him the contract terminates. Same vice versa. Heck, even if both sides want him to come back but can’t agree on terms the contract terminates.

The one certain thing is that the existing final year of the contract will never be played. The contract must either be renegotiated or terminate.

wait wait...

1) brookline home IS NOT sold yet. it's listed. as Brady said, its a long process to sell expensive homes.
2) surprised he would move 2 school aged kids mid-school year
3) the cleaned out suite is hearsay

he could be preparing for life outside of NE, but we're reading too much into these reports.

They could have just went to their NEW HOME for the holidays

The move means nothing except that his summers and his post football location clearly won't be in the Boston area. It's the same reason he stepped down from some of those charities, not because he may not be here in September, but because he won't be here in the summer. No matter where he plays he needs to rent a place. This all means nothing. For all we know the wife said you can keep playing but we have to move, or he wanted to be closer to his older son, or whatever.

 

[IllegalContact]

he should retire.............

 

[Tottie]

he should retire.............

Hard to tell who's serious and who's not. If you believe he sucks now then that's at least a good take. At least it's not "he should play for what we say he should or leave".

 

[TB_Helmet]

IMHO, cleaning out the suite, the locker, etc, isn't indicative of Brady going anywhere. Since he's effectively a free agent, the rules might well dictate that since he's no longer an employee of the NEP, that he can't be at the facility.

This is good insight, hadn't thought about that aspect.

Beating cancer and enlightening strangers on the internet, 2020's off to a good start!

His summers weren't here anyway. He spent them in Big Sky, MT.

Do we know his kids go to school? They may be home schooled?

Not going to put myself through 3 more pages of this but has anyone brought up the angle that his family might just be getting a head start on their new life while Brady wraps his career up?

I am not saying he won't leave. I am just not going to believe he is gone until we know it is final. Brady could be posturing at this point and purposely leaking this stuff out to get Belichick to shot or get off the pot.

I still do not leave out the possibility that Belichick sees too much of decline in Brady and wants to move on before he totally hits the age wall like he has done with so many other players. I am just not betting on it until I see otherwise and I am not going to jump at every news report for signs that Brady is gone.

Look at the situation. Gisselle and his kids have already moved to NY. Even if Brady is back, he may never set foot in his house in Brookline again. And maybe he plans to give up his suite even if he stays since Gisselle and the kids are in NY and probably won't be at many or any games next year. There is a chance that neither of these moves have anything to do with what Brady is thinking of the future and he might have done even if he had a new contract for next year.

You’re really on top of things. Thank you.

Interesting signature.

 

[Quest4SevenHomie]

Maybe Brady rents an apartment for the season? Nobody thought of this?

Because the family is going to be living in Connecticut seems like the most obvious reason.
