For clarification, the only opinion being given regarding whether Brady can be extended or not before August is Primetime’s not Greg Bedard’s.
Bedard did not share his opinion that it can’t be done until August. He passed along his reporting that those “most involved” in the Brady talks don’t believe it can be completed before August because of the restructure done before the start of last season. That’s a huge distinction that Primetime just keeps ignoring.
Until shown otherwise, I’ll go with the opinion of Tom Brady, Don Yee, Jonathan Kraft, Nick Caserio, DeMaurice Smith, Bill Belichick or whoever is telling Bedard this rather than Primetime’s opinion.
