Brady tried to get Edelman to go to Bucs. Edelman said "absolutely not"

[RIpats88]

Julian Edelman told Tom Brady 'absolutely not' when Brady asked him to join Buccaneers

Julian Edelman had no intention of joining his former Patriots teammate Tom Brady with the Buccaneers when Brady switched teams.

Kinda shady that Brady tried to get Edelman to request a trade from the Pats. But that's alot of loyalty from Edelman to say no.

Lotta babes!

As if we didn't all already love this man fully

"Absolutely not."

Foxboro Forever... Amen & all that

I was told on this forum the day Edelman retired that he was already on the plane to Tampa.

Eh Bucs wouldn’t need him anyway. I think if Edelman was healthier who knows.

I wouldn’t call it shady. Edelman was cut by the Pats then retired. He is a free agent so no tampering or anything like that there.

At least some people are loyal to the team

it's obvious at this point Brady is trying to load the Bucs up to enhance his own legacy. without Bill, he can' t win a SB without an all-star crew around him

Yup, also heard on WEEI. So it must have happened, and everyone reading this post is living in a world that doesn't exist for them anymore.

The same team that was 7-9 and haven’t sniffed the playoffs for years before he joined. “All star crew”

You really think Brady would have won the SB last year with Edelman, Hogan, Branch, and Amendola instead of Evans, Gronk, Brown, and Goodwin?

This was when he joined the Bucs in 2020

Yeah my bad - I just read the part that he said Brady mentioned talked to him right after he signed there. Maybe he said after his contract is up. Is 2 players talking like that tampering or does the organization have to be involved?

The Pats played the Bucs in 2017 with Evans and Godwin there and beat them without much difficulty. That was not an “all star team”.

stop. So you are saying Evans, Godwin, Brown, Gronk, Suh, White, Fournette, David, and JPP are not all-stars?

Could be wrong but I was sure player to player contact is not tampering by rule.

Players can tamper?

Players do that all the time. It’s not tampering because players have no power or authority. Tampering involves management or ownership.
