It appears the conversation between quarterback Tom Brady and head coach Bill Belichick about the future Hall of Famer returning to the New England Patriots isn’t off to a great start.
According to Karen Guregian of the Boston Herald, the quarterback and head coach talked on the phone on Tuesday, and according to a source the call “didn’t go well.”
The two connected by phone Tuesday, and their conversation about Brady’s pending free agency “didn’t go well,” per a source.
It was the first time Belichick had contacted Brady about his contract situation, and the Patriots’ plans going forward. The source wouldn’t shed further light on the discussion, other than noting it wasn’t all that fruitful.
Unfortunately, we don’t have specifics as to why this is the case, but hearing something like this will only fuel the speculation that Brady won’t return to the only team he’s ever played for.
And, of course, this will also lead to more chatter about him possibly leaving to join the Tennessee Titans, a team that has been considered one of the favorites to land the 42-year-old.
Why would Brady want to go to the Titans?
On top of them being a win-now team after falling one game short of the Super Bowl in 2019, the Titans have a slew of interesting weapons on offense, and Brady’s good friend, Mike Vrabel, is Tennessee’s head coach.
Until Brady actually makes a decision or the Titans lock up Ryan Tannehill, it’s for the aforementioned reasons that Tennessee will continue to be talked about as a team “The GOAT” could leave New England for.
