So you are taking the be dlck route huh?
Why is a 4-11 team even in the game?

Entertaining a call from a friend is one thing. Entertaining Contract negotiations while your still under contract to another team is something entirely different.Not excusing it because I am disappointed, but apparently Brady and Beal are boys. So entertaining calls from a friend?
Overreaction his legacy is cemented.There are companies that will fire you if they find out you're looking for another job. Because they don't want you to "taint the well".
And the NFL isn't the "real world". They have a closed system. That's been the players argument numerous times during CBA discussions.
Unfortunately for Tom, this will taint his legacy even more and there will be people who supported him that will step back and review his actions in "DeflateGate" with more scrutiny.
You do realize that both those guys have been close to Brady for years. Ones a Michigan alum who raises lots of money for Michigan and the other is a friend. Brady probably has talked to them personally as much as he did Kraft or Belichick.No, but I guarantee you that Brady violated the terms of his contract during his last season for meeting with these guys.
We have a pretty good idea:A lot of speculation in this thread. We have no idea how much time Brady spent talking to anyone in the Dolphins organization in 2019. They were pursuing him but he may have been saying he'll decide later. We don't know. At the end of the day he chose Tampa Bay so whatever those talks were between him and the Dolphins obviously didn't go to far.
Yeah.. It would be quite a feat if he responded.He may not comment for another reason as well
They were 10-1 after 11 games.With the lack of weapons that year, we might as well have been too.
I don’t love to hear what happened, but the relationship soured and it is what it is. That year was a mess regardless of the tampering.
This is the headline to the entire debacle and they’re burying it around the tampering fluff.
Overreaction his legacy is cemented.
The jig is up. I knew Shula was dead.
Not hockey season yet Timmy. And I've been a Patriots fan since the 84 when I was a kid. When did you jump the band wagon? Which SB was it? What other teams do you support? The Yankees, Lakers?Whatever you say, Vancouver Boy...shouldn't you be following the Canucks?
That is what's bizarre. The Bucs had the right to Tom, so what was Tom doing?After 2019 the Bucs was the better option
2021 the contract he signed with the Bucs plus the Brian Flores situation made it impossible.
I still don't see how this is a bad look. They wanted to move on, which they did and hired a new coach anyways. Speaking of the new coach, I like how they emphasized their new hired coach was someone of color. Many people would've never known if it wasn't mentioned.The Flores accusation came out, and it would have been a horrible look to proceed at that point.
Why Brady didn’t sign with the Dolphins in 2020? That’s not known yet. Maybe he didn’t think they were ready to compete; we know there was a long form article about Brady’s free agency process where he took a long look at teams’ rosters in determining his team; he certainly didn’t want to go through a rebuilding process.
It continued from august through the season and post season and was serious enough to cost them a 1 and 3 and 2 million in fines, plus have both excess suspended.You do realize that both those guys have been close to Brady for years. Ones a Michigan alum who raises lots of money for Michigan and the other is a friend. Brady probably has talked to them personally as much as he did Kraft or Belichick.
And at the end of the day, Brady didn't even go to the Phins. All the anti-Brady posters are on here with hard ons when none of us know the context of those calls. For all we know he could have been telling them he'll make his decision at a later date.
...and those companies can be sued for wrongful termination (if it can be proved).There are companies that will fire you if they find out you're looking for another job. Because they don't want you to "taint the well".

Huh? What will the result be through more scrutiny? They'll think he actually deflated footballs and ignore science?Unfortunately for Tom, this will taint his legacy even more and there will be people who supported him that will step back and review his actions in "DeflateGate" with more scrutiny.
The NFL is fining and banning the owners of the Dolphins for tampering with Tom Brady. It wasn't like they were just playing spin the Bo Schembechler in South Beach over mojitos.You do realize that both those guys have been close to Brady for years. Ones a Michigan alum who raises lots of money for Michigan and the other is a friend. Brady probably has talked to them personally as much as he did Kraft or Belichick.

Very simply…. He asked the Patriots to give him a longterm contract. They refused. He then agreed to sign a short term one and negotiated a no strings attached free agency after.
The ball was in the Pats court. Brady gave them every opportunity to ensure he stay. That was their chance to secure him. You don’t get to complain after you passed on that opportunity that he started talking to other people about a future you weren’t interested in locking down when you were the only suitor.
This jilted fan stuff. If you are upset, be mad at the team. The reason Brady isn’t here is because he wasn’t signed longterm when he was asking. Not the Dolphins when he was on his way to free agency.
This isn’t even like Parcells where the team was left high and dry suddenly and embarrassingly. There’s only one reason a guy negotiated a no strings attached free agency in his contract. Pats gave it to him so they didn’t need to commit
The league has acknowledged that players representing themselves are "agents". Agents are certainly not allowed to tamper.
Like I said I don't know what the details are here so I'll reserve judgement.
How many Super Bowls did he win in MN? Did he also lure a retired team legend to his new team?I know most of yall will get over it once he retires. Packers fans were able to love Favry again and he actually played for Minnesota
Not at all. I'm not happy Brady spoke to anyone, but, we don't know the details of the conversations. What we do know is he didn't go to the Phins, so whatever they were pitching he wasn't buying. To be clear, whoever approached Brady he should have said I'll talk to you after the season.It continued from august through the season and post season and was serious enough to cost them a 1 and 3 and 2 million in fines, plus have both excess suspended.
Seems you are playing ostrich because you don’t like what it says.
