TroutDog Posted April 8, 2020 Share Posted April 8, 2020 Seems as though he was tired of taking the hometown discount coupled with one year deals. He has a goal of playing until he’s 45 and he seems to have wanted to ensure he could do it on his terms. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buffalo_Stampede Posted April 8, 2020 Share Posted April 8, 2020 Adam Schefter told us all during the season but no one really believed him. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GunnerBill Posted April 8, 2020 Share Posted April 8, 2020 When he revised his contract in training camp to ensure he would be a UFA the writing was on the wall. I think he also saw the 2nd dynasty team starting to break up a bit. Gronk has gone, Edleman is slowed. The offensive line was nicked up and has suddenly become very expensive. Hightower isn't quite the dominant force he was - Flowers and Brown had already walked in FA. The only thing that would have changed his mind was a really strong season where some young players broke through. Like if N'Keal Harry was AJ Brown I think that might have given him pause for thought. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

loyal2dagame Posted April 8, 2020 Share Posted April 8, 2020 So to summarize Brady's thoughts: "I knew the Buffalo Bills were building a juggernaut and needed to get the hell out of the East and the AFC. I also realize my skills are diminishing and that I need to go somewhere else ASAP, so that rather than get dismantled by the Bills, I now have built in excuses (new system, timing with receivers, ect) when I look less than average.

He must of gotten the inside scoop from Brady's doctor who prescribes him the HGH, that's not really HGH, but called by some off the wall name like xycropromatranicin or another. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lurker Posted April 8, 2020 Share Posted April 8, 2020 Well, I suspect he was unhappy with how BB was rebuilding the offense, especially with his 2019 draft. Outside of a very, very raw WR in round 1, there was virtually no help for Brady. I'm sure he loved that 5th round punter pick...: Round 1, Pick 32 : WR N’Keal Harry, Arizona State Round 2, Pick 45: CB Joejuan Williams, Vanderbilt Round 3, Pick 77: EDGE Chase Winovich, Michigan Round 3, Pick 87: RB Damien Harris, Alabama Round 4, Pick 118: G Hjalte Froholdt Round 4, Pick 133: QB Jarrett Stidham, Auburn Round 5, Pick 159: DL Byron Cowart, Maryland Round 5, Pick 163: P Jake Bailey, Stanford Round 7, Pick 252: CB Ken Webster, Mississippi 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In terms of interviewers in this world it’s: Howard Stern everybody else 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not just a loss, but one that happened in Foxborough, against a Ryan Tanehill QBed team, via a pick-6 thrown to former Patriot Logan Ryan. Bliss. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
