Tom Brady left the New England Patriots this offseason after a 20-year run, and many wonder whether his relationship with Bill Belichick had finally run its course. But now recent reports seem to suggest it was Brady’s relationship with Patriots offensive coordinator Josh McDaniels that may have played a role in his decision to leave.
Per CBS Sports:
“According to Gary Myers, formerly of the New York Daily News, Brady’s ‘deteriorating relationship’ with Josh McDaniels was part of the reason why the quarterback left for Tampa Bay in free agency earlier this offseason. Myers notes that Brady was ‘worn out by Josh after all these years’ and wanted to have more input into the game plan.”
Brady was quick to come to McDaniels’ defense and condemn the report, posting the below image on his Instagram story.
I think we all owe Brady the benefit of the doubt on this one. He and McDaniels had a run of great success together in New England, culminating in Super Bowl wins and numerous winning seasons. Plus, Brady made his love for McDaniels “Instagram official.” No take backs.
