The football world was shocked when the New England Patriots and Tom Brady split up after one of the league's most dominant runs. What may have shocked people even more was when it was announced that Tom Brady was deciding to head to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers when they had been stuck in the middle of the pack for so long.

Tom Brady has finally acknowledged the “tension” that had built up between him and Bill Belichick over half a decade ago. Brady wrote on the topic of NFL free agency in the most recent update of his weekly newsletter.

By the end of the 2019 season, which ended with a playoff loss to the Tennessee Titans, Brady said it was pretty clear he was done in New England and that the tension with Belichick had a lot to do with that.
