Imagine if someone proposed a trade: Tom Brady for Devin McCourty and Joe Thuney.
The combined salaries are roughly equal. One makes you sure-fire division champion and possibly a SB contender; the other doesn't even register on the radar.
As Kraft said, Brady didn’t want to be here. If he did want to continue being a Patriot, an agreement could have been reached one way or another.
His departure isn’t because of inadequate compensation or a lack of salary space; it was Brady deciding he wanted to play elsewhere for whatever reason(s).

So with all the craziness going on right now, I didn’t really have time today to give this my full attention.
But now it reminds me of this clip.
I think Brady is making a mistake. I don’t think a player should have input on personnel decisions, it’s not their place, even if you are the goat. I think any team that would allow such a thing is stupid, and having lived in Tampa for the past 17 years I can confirm that the Bucs are that team.
They have a ton of talent on offense but Arians is no Belichick. And while maybe playing for Belichick is not all touchy feely sometimes, there is a method to his madness and it clearly works. If he gave Brady the input he wanted, he would be going against everything he’s ever stood for.
Sometimes egos collide and it saddens me to see something great dissolved because of that but that’s life. I don’t think it’s going to go like Brady thinks it will. I think he’s going to be disappointed in what life without Belichick is like. Sometimes people have to leave before they realize what they had and it’s sad when that happens.
While I am a little bit happy that we can go check out a Bucs game and watch Brady play, it won’t be the same.
I’m not sure how I’ll feel when I see him in another uniform. He gave me and my son so many great memories. It’s just sad to see it end this way.
Curran, in a bold prediction, added that he believes the Buccaneers will be a 13-win team next season and Brady will throw 40 touchdowns surrounded by talented receivers Mike Evans, Chris Godwin and O.J. Howard.
Lots of talk about trading Edelman to Tampa, but James White is the guy who makes sense.
I get the distinct impression Brady doesn't want to battle Mahomes anywhere but in the Super Bowl. So playing in that division with the Chargers would be insane. Moreover, beyond the Chiefs the Ravens are also a major threat if they find a way to translate their regular season dominance to the postseason.It wouldve been harder if he went to the AFC tto watch him play the pats regularly. Tampa softens the blow a miniscule bit. I think brady and the tampa staff will make some adjustments to suit each other. Remains to be seen how it works esp with shortened offseason program . If anyone can pull it out against all odds its brady.
I bet the pats and tampa bay play in preseason this year.

I have absolutely no confidence Tampa will compete.Brady has a shot at a superbowl next year, BB does not. BB will have a shot before he's done though.
