There are always things that can be done to message the cap but these recent signings lead me to think Brady is not in the plans. And to be quite honest, I don’t know, even after all the insane excitement, clutch drives and glory he has helped bring to this region that I want him back.
It’s not because of his performance last year which I found pretty damn good just statically for his age and the disaster that was the offense through injury, retirement and chaotic flux at wide receiver. He did still put up over 4 grand in yards and 24 touchdowns to 8 interceptions.
But there was something off. Didn’t see the joy in winning at the press conferences or the laid back style we often saw. And I think that change in personality affected team chemistry somewhat. I mean he sets the tone of the culture in the locker room to a large degree.
I am not one who killed him over skipping OTA’s but the further we get the more that was the beginning of a picture being painted of a player who just wasn’t happy.
I believe he was fully engaged, that’s his nature but I think something was taking a toll on him. Not sure what it was if anything.
I’m just sure what to think about him coming back at this point.
I think that BB was going to trade Brady instead of Garrappolo and Kraft nixed it. That set everyone on edge…Brady because he felt disrespected about being traded…BB because he fancied himself to be in charge.
I coukd see BB capitulating at the time with the caveat that there be a defined jump off point for the organization. And here we are.
The Pats re-signed OLB Keionta Davis (6-4, 280). He played in 6 games for the team in 2018 (3 starts), before spending the entire 2019 season on injured reserve.
