It Was Time For Brady And The Patriots To Part Ways

You are a loyal New England Patriots fan and you are conflicted. You never thought the face of the franchise, six-time Super Bowl-winning quarterback Tom Brady would leave. You assumed he would conclude his career in New England, where he spent the last 20 years. You thought the Patriots would make sure he never left by providing him with a nice, fat multiyear contract. But Brady, who often took pay cuts or restructured his contract so the Patriots had money they could use to land important complementary players, was never offered a long-term deal. And he stated that he wanted a new challenge. So he is now a Tampa Bay Buccaneer. You can read into it what you want. The worst part was the endless discussion of the Brady decision on TV and radio.
