“THE OWNER HAS DECLARED MANY TIMES HE WANTS BRADY TO REMAIN A PATRIOT. BUT MY UNDERSTANDING IS THAT, JUST AS HE WOULDN’T FORCE BRADY TO STAY UNDER A FRANCHISE TAG, HE WON’T INTERCEDE IF BELICHICK CONCLUDES MOVING ON FROM BRADY IS THE BEST COURSE OF ACTION.

WHILE BRADY IS MORE THAN OPEN TO REMAINING A PATRIOT IF THINGS SEEM DESTINED TO IMPROVE, THE LURE OF BEING A FREE AGENT IS THERE AS WELL. THERE ARE ABOUT 10 TEAMS – INCLUDING THE PATRIOTS – THAT COULD BE ATTRACTIVE LANDING SPOTS OR POSSIBLE SUITORS.”
