Tom Brady, who played under Bill Belichick during his two decades as quarterback of the New England Patriots, addressed the “natural tension” with the NFL coach that played a factor in his departure.

Former New England Patriots QB states, "a whirlwind of a few days made me realize that a decision was coming sooner, rather than later."

In the latest edition of his newsletter, Brady noted that his departure from the Patriots was a “creeping decision” that had been brewing for “2-3 years” before he signed with the Buccaneers.
