Nice Read - One more ride for Tom Brady in New England, then nothing promised

PP2 said:

Nothing promised is about the right thing to assume, and furthermore right on point to say that nobody knows what will happen, including BB or Brady.

Here's what I'm pretty sure is going to happen: BB is going to play hardball and let Brady hit the open market and explore his options (same thing BB did with Hightower, et al), but will not offer more than a team-friendly deal, and only for one year, if anything.

A few franchise are going to throw everything they have at him, and not just that- but a multi-year deal which would no doubt be tempting in terms of security as far as Brady's goal of playing until he's 45 (which I very much doubt will happen).

Does Brady take the security of a multi-year deal and go somewhere and start from scratch? Or does he stay home and take a lesser deal for just one year at a time?

Or does Kraft interfere? He didn't interfere this year or do anything about Brady's expiring contract.

IMO, the possibility that Brady is playing his last home game tomorrow is very real.

Wouldn't BB > Jints be more likely in that scenario?
Or have they already signed a coach & locked in their GM. I dunno.
He's always liked that org. It's not far from Nantucket.

Here's a crazy take:

Essentially setting up the idea that if Kraft isn't behind moving on from Brady, that things could get contentious and Belichick may opt to move on.
