Legendary Tom Brady wasn’t ready to part ways with the Patriots after the 2019 season but then, Bill Belichick’s treatment towards him pushed the NFL star to leave the team and move on with his life.
Belichick contributed massively to Tom Brady’s exit from the Patriots and the details are now everywhere in the tabloids.
Now, Brady has gone on the record in the new 10-episode Apple+ docu-series, “The Dynasty,” which debuts on Friday.
“Me and coach Belichick, we did what we loved and competed for 20 years together,” Brady said in the documentary, as covered by The Athletic. “But I wasn’t going to sign another contract (in New England) even if I wanted to play until (I was) 50. Based on how things had gone, I wasn’t going to sign up for more of it.”
According to the outlet’s review of the documentary, Brady’s former teammates were candid about how clear the strain was between the quarterback and head coach.
Rob Gronkowski said that he didn’t want to leave his car and go into work when he got to the parking lot at the team facility, and former receiver Wes Welker analogized Brady to an abused dog in his service to Belichick.
“It was brutal,” former special teams ace Matthew Slater said in the series.
Brady and Patriots owner Robert Kraft were described in the review as being “more blunt than usual” in the documentary.
Tom Brady couldn’t take it any longer and had to leave the Patriots for his sanity and I think that was a good decision by the NFL legend.
