Where will Brady end up next year?

Close.  I think he wants to prove he can win without Belichick. 

I think the feeling is mutual.

I think the feeling is mutual.

Agree.  Be interesting to see which team - Tampa or NE fairs better this season.  (Assuming there is a football season)

If I remember correctly they denied this story at the time but I could be wrong.


Tom Brady decided on Patriots departure after Bill Belichick offered him in 49ers trade: report

A source close to 49ers general manager John Lynch told Bleacher Report that the organization had been eyeing Garoppolo in 2017 but that Belichick offered Brady instead. Lynch reportedly didn’t have the chance to take him up on that offer because owner Robert Kraft wouldn’t hear it.

"Kraft shut that s--t down fast," a source close to Belichick told Bleacher Report. "So, instead, Lynch gets Garoppolo, but Brady, Belichick and Kraft haven't been the same since Tom learned that Bill was ready to get rid of him. And that lit a fire under his a-s."

Brady went on to win one more Super Bowl and restructure his contract to pave the way for his departure.

Slightly off topic, but this creates the very interesting scenario of which NFL coach thinks he can take a physically gifted QB (Winston) who makes the worst decisions of any QB I've seen in a long time and coach him up to his potential.  Winston has a whole lot of dumb and immaturity both on and off the field to overcome.  So it will be very interesting to see who picks him up.

Winston is different than most QBs who are released. He actually has a pretty good upside so you're really only having to work on his downside. I think he will find a back-up job behind someone who isn't very secure in their job.

Winston playing for Belichick would make for a great reality show but a terrible pairing. Bill will have zero tolerance for his stupid INTs. Still, Winston does have talent but how much of his yardage can be attributed to him just playing recklessly?

Winston was the beneficiary of Mike Evans, he can out jump anyone.  Winston would just throw up jump balls to him, mostly in double coverage, and he'd still get the catch.
