Yeah it absolutely matters. There was no expectation when Brady negotiated to have unrestricted free agency at the end of his contract that he was going to stay in New England. There’s zero evidence Miami swayed him in anyway. It’s you making up conjecture to assume he’s not here because of Miami.Doesn't matter that he didn't go to Miami.
Does matter that he knew 100% proof positive going into contract negotiations with the Patriots that there was at least 1 team that would offer multiple years... Don't think that would have an adverse impact on the Patriots negotiations?
I do.
We know why he isn’t here. We weren’t committing to him and another team was.
You can’t be naive enough to think he negotiated unrestricted free agency and it was all just an elaborate bluff and he was going to give NE a break compared to any other team. The Pats had all season to work on extending him. They didn’t.
You have offered no proof that any discussion he had with Miami is why he isn’t here now. It’s just homerism so you can justify your narrative that the Patriots were somehow screwed and that Brady leaving wasn’t a situation they negotiated themselves into.
