TOM Brady has finally revealed what forced him to leave the New England Patriots.
After 20 years with the Patriots, Brady shocked the world and left the team to play for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
Brady and the Patriots won six Super Bowls together, but it seemed that their relationship started to sour.
His relationship with Bill Belichick was seemingly the main factor in that, but it was never confirmed… that is until now.
Brady himself has revealed that there was a tension between him and the legendary head coach.
He shared the story on his website, reflecting on NFL free agency.
“For me, it was a creeping decision that lived passively in the back of mind for 2-3 years until March of 2020 when a whirlwind of a few days made me realize that a decision was coming sooner rather than later,” Brady wrote.
“The reality was, after twenty years together, a natural tension had developed between where Coach Belichick and I were headed in our careers, and where the Patriots were moving as a franchise.
“It was the kind of tension that could only be resolved by some kind of split or one of us reassessing our priorities.”
Brady said that he listed out his priorities and it made him realize the Buccaneers were the right team for him.
“What I ended up with was a list of about twenty things that I then ranked and graded on a weighted scale from 1 to 3,” he wrote.
“The presence of skill players was a 3 in terms of importance, for example, and the Bucs graded out as a 3 because of guys like Mike Evans and Chris Godwin.
“The same was true for the head coach. That was a 3 in importance, and Tampa scored a 3 with Bruce Arians.
“Game day weather was a 2, practice weather was a 3. Financial compensation was on the list, obviously, but it wasn’t first, it probably wasn’t even top 10, and it definitely didn’t rank as a 3 in importance.
“In the end, I chose Tampa, almost exactly five years ago now, because, in the aggregate, it graded out higher than New England along those twenty or so dimensions.”
Of course, it ended up being a good decision as Brady went on to win his seventh Super Bowl in Tampa Bay.
Meanwhile, Belichick is out of the NFL and now coaching college football at UNC.
