John Lynch Asked For Tom Brady In Trade; Bill Belichick Laughed, 'Basically Hung Up' The Phone
Now essentially confirmed in stone from Lynch himself.
On the podcast “Pardon My Take,” Lynch explained how the situation played out with hosts “Big Cat” and “PFT Commenter.”
Lynch: … the Garoppolo thing came out of nowhere.
PFT: Did you ask for Tom Brady?
Lynch: Um, I’m not supposed to talk about that. (Laughs)
BC: You did. You did, and that’s OK. That’s a bold move.
PFT: But I like that. It’s your first year in the league as a general manager – why not just take shots? Worst thing that happens is they say no, right?
Lynch: Yeah, we were calling about Jimmy. And we did have that conversation and got quickly rebuffed. And I figured, what the heck, you gotta take your shot, right? You can’t score if you don’t shoot. So I had to summon up the courage and Bill laughed at me … and basically hung up on me. But hey, I took my shot.
