Tedy Bruschi Shares His Gut Feeling On Tom Brady’s Free Agency

Tom Brady possibly leaving New England Patriots is still making headlines. Reportedly, the Los Angeles Chargers are a “legitimate option” for the quarterback should he decide to leave. The Las Vegas Raiders also will be in the mix if he and the Patriots don’t reach an agreement. Brady’s former teammate Tedy Bruschi, though, has a gut feeling that the six-time Super Bowl champion will remain in Foxboro.

“Well, guys, my gut feeling is Tom, when we go through all of this and play this all out, Tom will eventually go back to New England,” Bruschi said.”

“The structure that he has in New England, the ownership, the head coach, how things are run there. Free agents come in and they quote to their mouths, ‘It’s just different here. Things are run differently here.’ I can imagine the moment, if Tom Brady were to go somewhere else, sitting in a team meeting, installing whatever they do, the way they run things upstairs, downstairs, nutrition, everything, him saying, ‘Man, it’s just different here.’

“So, he’s earned the right to be a free agent and be courted by Las Vegas, of course, the Chargers — those types of teams. But when it all comes down to it, Tom Brady’s smart enough to understand, I believe, and so is Robert Kraft, that there is still a good thing there in New England and the success that they had, he was a huge reason for it and if he wants to continue to have that type of success — those 10-, 12-, 13-win seasons — that’s the place he’s gotta be back to because I really think it can end badly somewhere else.”

Money Won’t Keep Brady In New England

The Patriots are pretty determined to retain Brady. The franchise reportedly is willing to offer him an upward of $30 million to stick around. However, that might not be enough to keep Brady in New England. The future Hall of Famer’s top priority is being surrounded by quality weapons. And that’s something New England at this moment in unable to offer.

So, it remains to be seen if Bruschi’s gut feeling was right or not.
