I'm sorry smessy with all due respect, you are making TB sound like he is a rookie. Do you really believe that after 20 years with Belichick and the Pats that Brady can't walk into any camp and learn their system? Are you implying that Tom Brady would pull a Reggie Wayne? This is the most competitive human being on the planet. He'll not only learn the system, he'll probably excel in it just to prove the detractors wrong (again).
We've heard a million times how BB rather let a player go earlier rather than later. He's done it over and over, with good veteran players. This is a business. Brady knows this. He just said it. We can all pretend the Pats are this big happy family but they are nothing but a business.
As far as finding a team that will hire Brady for a year or 2, there will be plenty, and they will pay more than the Pats are willing to pay. I mean Broncos hired Flacco (who at least has a SB). There are plenty of dumb desperate teams out there with money.
Not saying this is going to happen, but if it does, it wouldn't surprise me.
