there was ZERO chance he was coming back. He no longer was going to non mandatory otas, he spent the whole season complaining, including when we were 8-0
he made no effort to gel with the rookies.
The team wasted a ton of cap money on antonio brown, drafted a #1 receiver, traded mid season for a receiver. nothing was good enough for Tom.
They are especially annoying when they go on about "just restructure Xxxxx's contract and use that money" like every player is completely OK with being restructured. Didn't Amendola basically say that the main reason he left was because of the restructured deals he signed to stay with the team? Just because a team asks for a restructured deal does not mean that a player has to agree to it.
BTW - could you show me this "3 year/27 mil" extension? From: Tom Brady Contract Details, Salary Cap Charges, Bonus Money, and Contract History | Over The Cap

Pats rarely had anyone else on the team that warranted the highest price tag at their position besides Tom in the past decade. I think the point many are making is that the reason that not paying top dollar worked because Tom was the QB and not because the Pats front office was so smart.
We wanted to kick Brady out.
You can't see it? It's the 2013 extension. Brady has $20m left on this contract for last 2 years. And he extended it by 3 more years for $27m so it became $57m for 5 years.
It was a pure gift. Brady got peanuts for years. Jets were whining about this for years that Brady is so underpaid and in return Kraft got him some land and permissions to build property on the cheap at some prime real estate near his own home, and that Kraft was charging Brady nothing for rent in Patriot Place and other stuff. But Brady taking $9m per year for 3 years was insane,
We sure did, as a way to try and appease brady, by paying top dollar to protect him in the pocket.We kept Thuney at $14m for this year...............
Lol it's Brady's fault Bill paid a guard $14 million.We sure did, as a way to try and appease brady, by paying top dollar to protect him in the pocket.

I am glad I have you here to help steer me in the right direction.Hey guy, just go someplace else. You clearly don't like bill, and since hes the GM and the coach that brough 6 superbowls, and 9 trips to the superbowl, you must not be much of a patriot fan. So instead of *****ing and complaining all day, why don't you just go jump on a different bandwagon team until the patriots rebuild, then come back and act like you always loved bill.
BS. Brady negotiated that contract because Bill kept ****ing him around with 1 year incentive deals. If he had treated him with the respect he deserves and offered a multi year deal Brady would still be a Patriot. Bill f*cked up, plain and simple. Both Bill and Kraft have egg on their face right now.You have that wrong... Brady left. Period. He negotiated a contract that allowed him to leave and he left. He was not kicked out.
Depending on where Kraft is in Florida, he may have something else on his face too.BS. Brady negotiated that contract because Bill kept ****ing him around with 1 year incentive deals.

Not a bad shot for an 80 yr oldDepending on where Kraft is in Florida, he may have something else on his face too.
Kicking out ABBrady left for a multitude of reasons. Among them, in no order:
- Butler's benching
- Kraft's handling of the deflate gate mess
- Kraft's rub and tug
- Bill's coaching style IE Johnny Foxboro
- Brady's desire to have input to personnel and game plan decisions. "I'm an employee" and Bill's unwavering stubbornness to change how he does things.
- Bill's inability to draft and develop WRs
- Bill's handling of Alex Guerrero
- Tom's growth as a person
- Bill's lack of same
