Gugny Posted August 11, 2022 Share Posted August 11, 2022 TAMPA, Fla. -- Buccaneers quarterback Tom Brady will be away from the team for a period of time to "deal with some personal things," coach Todd Bowles said Thursday. Bowles said Brady's absence was discussed in advance and that he will return after next week's preseason game against the Tennessee Titans on Aug. 20. Bowles had previously announced that Brady would not play in the preseason opener Saturday against the Miami Dolphins. Brady had excused absences last Wednesday -- his previously scheduled off day and also his 45th birthday -- and last Friday. The Buccaneers as a team had an off day last Thursday. https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/34383895/tom-brady-away-tampa-bay-buccaneers-deal-some-personal-things-coach-todd-bowles-says Translation: Tommy's got a hangover.

Bruffalo Posted August 11, 2022 Share Posted August 11, 2022 He left some stuff on Ross' boat and he's gotta go get it. That's why he won't be playing the Dolphins. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vtnatefootball11 Posted August 11, 2022 Share Posted August 11, 2022 Wondering if there may actually be something going on here. Maybe Tom is second guessing coming out of retirement now with the injuries at center, and/or something behind the scenes with this whole Dolphins/Ross fiasco, and is now actually re-considering his options? Not his style to pull a Lebron and basically acknowledge he can do whatever he wants and take time off while the rest of his team works. Maybe he's finally pulling rank but I'm probably a little worried if I'm a Bucs fan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wjag Posted August 11, 2022 Share Posted August 11, 2022 Listening to various reports it sounds open ended too. I've seen various reports that say "at least 10 days". Crazy to think anyone can walk out of preseason (not in a contract dispute), let alone QB1. Also consider you have a new head coach. Imagine how that is riling his plans and learning curve.

I really really really (like really) hope he's got word that some book is being published or a documentary is being made that's going to expose all the suspect ***** he's been involved with over the years, and has gone away to prep his damage limitation with his agent and lawyer.

RyanC883 Posted August 11, 2022 Share Posted August 11, 2022 this is strange. I mean losing that Center is big, but it's not the entire line. wonder how he has looked in TC so far. Perhaps he doesn't have it anymore and wants to retire. Or who knows? Is bored with TC/preseason. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
