Patriots/NFL Off-Season: Brady Leaving Patriots

[N o o d l e s]

For the record I am Team Re-Sign Nick Folk

 

[KrejciMVP]

It’s a lot easier to do in a year where there seemed like there were more “WTF Brady” throws then every other year combined

Just wait till he get some playmakers and is back to form. Gonna be sad but I hope he gets #7

 

[BruinsFanSince94]

Zolak is going off on 98.5.

The only sport this airhead can talk about.

 

[PatriceBergeron]

5-11 here we come

It will be interesting to watch the bandwagon empty.

It's hard to imagine Brady in another jersey but I've accepted that he was leaving a while ago. You could see it a mile away after last season.

Thanks for the years and memories but time to move on.

As for what's next...

They'll draft a QB and maybe move up to get one. They have some draft capital to play with.

As for next season...probably a vet to play at least one season. Thinking someone like Dalton.

 

[Richard Lather]

Best of luck to the guy, I've been lucky to know almost only a Tom Brady lead team since I'm 28. I wont take it for granted and realize I'll probably never see anything like that again in my life.

 

[smithformeragent]

Nothing last forever. It was a tremendous run, time to move on..

Even cold November rain.

The dalton era lol this could be comical

 

[PatriceBergeron]

Brady has been bailing Belichick out for a decade.

Good luck to Bill this year.

It'll be interesting.

I was a Bledsoe bobo since I started watching sports in '93.

Had lots of spite for BB in the early years of the dynasty.
(Clearly, he was right for dealing Bledsoe as the Sox were for letting Pedro walk after '04, but I was just a foolish boy!)

I'm actually really interested to see what it looks like.

I'll also be rooting for TB to do well.

 

[Tuggy]

I never said anything about era.

Maybe they go with Stidham, but I would expect BB to look to bring in a vet to play in front of whoever they draft for at least a season.

 

[Seidenbergy]

Take the money and replace Van Noy and Collins, sign a great Edge Rusher, cut/trade Burkhead so Harris can play next year and cut Gostowski as well.

What money? Him leaving won't save them anything and will actually result in a $13 mil cap hit.

 

[LucicIsABeast]

Haha, some of these comments are laughable. Bummed out but such is business. Wish Brady the best!

 

[BruinsFanSince94]

Low-key wish he'd retire.

 

[Drift]

I think it will be funny if he signs for less somewhere else but for extra years.

 

[BigBadBruins7708]

really hoping they get Nick Foles. Guy is clearly good enough to win it all, and would be a perfect transition QB while grooming the next guy

 

[Smitty93]

For the record I am Team Re-Sign Nick Folk

I am Team Draft Rodrigo Blankenship in the 5th round.

 

[CrazyMonkey1208]

And with that I'm retiring as a football fan. I was always a casual fan. Saw the terrible years, remember the so-close years in the 80s, and of course the Brady years. I've always said I'm going out when Tommy retires or leaves the Patriots. C-ya.

Very similar for me.

Bledsoe was my first football idol as a kid.

But many Patriot fans only know the Patriots with Tom Brady. There is no denying this is a huge hit to the Patriots brand.

 

[BMC]

It hurt more when Orr left when I was a kid

Yeah this is a pin prick compared to losing #4. I didn't follow the Bruins back then like I do now but he was the Bruins to me & I think a lot of other people. The Bruins weren't the Bruins without him.

Plus we've gotten so used to superstar athletes signing with other teams late in their careers it hardly registers anymore

 

[KrejciMVP]

Next time we see playoffs in boston might be next April. Title town days over

 

[Smitty93]

Only comments from the Patriots so far.

 

[BMC]

Brady played a part in making the environment toxic.

Don't put this square on Bill.

Yeah there is plenty of blame to go around for everyone involved.

 

[Gator Mike]

I told my 10-year old daughter this was going to happen last night, and she started to cry. She legitimately thought that there would be no more New England Patriots.

I explained to her that the Patriots existed long before Tom Brady, and that they'll exist long after he leaves. I told her that when I grew up, I cheered for quarterback she'd never heard of - guys like Matt Cavanaugh, Tommy Hodson, Hugh Millen, and Tony Eason. I explained to her that there were times when Patriots fans prayed to go 8-8. And then I also told her that those tough years made those of us who remember them even more appreciative and thankful for the good years.

 

[N o o d l e s]

Rumor is patriots never made an offer and didn’t plan to
