Few can believe Tom Brady is actually considering leaving Bill Belichick and the New England Patriots. But what if it’s not his choice? What if the Patriots are already done with Brady?
Former New England tight end and current sports radio host Christian Fauria believes the Patriots aren’t interested in signing Brady when he hits free agency in March. Fauria thinks Bill Belichick and Robert Kraft won’t be putting a competitive deal on the table.
“I believe the Patriots are 100 percent done,” Fauria said on WEEI’s Ordway, Merloni & Fauria. “I think the Patriots are okay and ready to move on. Everything that comes out from (NFL Network reporter) Ian Rapoport is just bogus-ness. It’s fake, it’s narrative changing, it’s camouflage, it’s not the truth because there’s going to be ‘it’s not our fault’ fans. They know Brady’s not coming back.”
.@christianfauria is more sure than ever we will not see Tom Brady play for the #Patriots again

One team is already waiting in line to offer Brady a boatload of money. The Oakland Raiders want to pitch Brady, per ESPN. There will likely be more suitors to emerge in the coming weeks leading up to March 18, when free agency official opens. (The legal tampering period starts on March 16.)
The Patriots are reportedly comfortable letting Brady test free agency. Is that because they’re comfortable with him leaving, too?
