The football world was shocked when the New England Patriots and Tom Brady split up after one of the league's most dominant runs. What may have shocked people even more was when it was announced that Tom Brady was deciding to head to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers when they had been stuck in the middle of the pack for so long.

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

Tom Brady admitted that his exit from the New England Patriots was sparked by a “tension” with then-head coach Bill Belichick. Brady, 47, who played quarterback for the Patriots under Belichick’s leadership from 2000 to 2019, detailed the pair’s dynamic in the Monday, March 24, edition of his weekly 199 newsletter.
