Colin Cowherd Shares Multiple Reasons Why Brady Will Stay In Patriots

Many NFL fans are not willing to accept the fact that Tom Brady might leave New England. Colin Cowherd is one of them. He even shared several reasons why Brady will stay in Patriots.

Cowherd, however, believes it would be a wise decision for Brady to join the Indianapolis Colts this offseason. But the FOX Sports 1 host said he doesn’t expect that to happen.

On Wednesday, Cowherd listed several reasons why Brady will re-sign with the Patriots in free agency.

“There’s three or four reasons why I think he’s staying in New England,” Cowherd said. “Number one: If Tom Brady left the Patriots, it would be a $13.5 million cap hit. Have you followed Bill Belichick’s career? Does he like paying for players? No. Especially ones he doesn’t have. You think Belichick’s gonna wanna incur an almost $14 million cap hit for a guy not on his team? That is so not Belichick.

” … Number two is they don’t have a succession plan. If they had Jimmy Garoppolo in the backyard throwing the football, I’d buy it. They don’t.

“Number three is I don’t think there’s a massive market. The position is changing, it’s getting more mobile, it’s getting more athletic, there’s not a lot of good offensive lines. Tom’s a liability if you don’t have a great O-Line.”

Colin Warns Against Overexaggerating the Patriots’ Supposed Downfall

Colin Cowherd criticized the over-exaggeration of the Patriots’ supposed downfall. He also pointed to Brady’s TB12 business endeavors. On one hand, Brady might want a change after spending 20 seasons in New England. However, his first foray into free agency might be is nothing more than him testing the market before ultimately deciding to stay in Patriots.

“Let’s not over-exaggerate New England’s fall. They were 12-4 and a dumb loss to Miami from having a playoff bye… I don’t think Tom Brady bolts.” — @ColinCowherd pic.twitter.com/tvyPfl8rCQ

Patriots owner Robert Kraft has made it clear he’d like to re-sign Brady. Belichick still hasn’t shared his thoughts, but it would be interesting to see how he feels about continuing the relationship. Especially since Brady showed some regression in 2019 and will turn 43 before the 2020 campaign.
