This really isn’t hard. You argue Tom left because the Patriots didn’t have a team around him. Ok if you accept that fact, then what the Patriots did was use Brady’s $30 million which they cleared out last year, to restock this years team. Yes they would probably be better this year with Brady as QB, except they wouldn’t have been able to invest his salary in free agents so they would still be in more or less the same situation they were in two years ago.
Tom Brady or that same money for Nelson Algohor and Matt Judon (or last year, Devin McCourty and Joe Thuney.)
Tough call…hmmmm.
How do GMs sleep at night with tough decisions like this?
