Tom Brady’s Reasons For Leaving Patriots Revealed By Tiki Barber

Tom Brady parted ways with the New England Patriots. He is now playing with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, and Tiki Barber knows his reasons for doing this.

“I love it man,” the retired Giants Pro-Bowler said on the Scoop B Radio Podcast.

“It’s funny. I talked to my brother who actually plays golf with him and he’s like, ‘He’s the chillest dude you could ever imagine.’ Down there in Tampa, but when he first signed I was like, ‘What does this mean?’…it’s simple bro. For the first time in a long time; maybe since Jon Gruden was there, back in early 2000-02 or ’03 when they won the Super Bowl, people care about the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. They’re a conversation point. There’s an expectation above mediocrity; like significantly above mediocrity for this Tampa Bay Buccaneers team. That alone, is worth signing Tom Brady.”

Tiki Barber know the truth

TB12 is a 14-time NFL Pro Bowler. He won six Super Bowls with the Patriots, and was named the NFL MVP in four occasions in his professional career.

“Now given the fact that they are stacked offensively with Chris Godwin and Mike Evans and now Rob Gronkowski is there, they got three great tight ends in O.J. Howard and Cameron Bright,” Barber said.

“So the versatility of this offense is going to be amazing. I love Bruce Arians. I relatively known him since the day I was born; he and my father were graduate assistants at Virginia Tech back in 1975. He’s the coolest dude in the room with his Kangol and he’d have a Scotch with you and tell you like it is, “Hey son, you’re messing up or son great job. Let’s go celebrate.” And I think it’s a great environment for Tom to wind out his career and have some fun.”

Barber said that Brady leaving the Pats was actually the result of a few great reasons.  

“A lot of people ask why did Tom leave New England, and maybe he wants to have some fun. It’s great to win but, sometimes you want to have fun doing what you’re doing. And they’re going to have a lot of it down there and I think they’re going to have success despite the fact that it’s probably the toughest division in football right now.”
