In his latest edition of his newsletter, Brady confirmed that was the case, even admitted that his impending free agency was on his mind.
“It was a sneaking decision that lived passively in the back of the mind for [two to three] year. Until March 2020, when a Virvevind in a few days made me realize that a decision was coming before rather than later, “Brady wrote.
“After 20 years together, a natural tension had evolved between where coach Belichick and I were on our way in our career and where the patriots moved like a franchise. It was the kind of excitement that could only be solved by some kind of split or one of us re -evaluated our priorities.”
