First, the column from Monday (link is below, just go down a few stories) about Tom Brady's departure from the New England Patriots:
I doubt it. The longer this goes, the more it feels like Tom isn’t going anywhere. Because nobody wants to pay him $30 million per year for another two or three years.After Tom Brady signed a contract that's pretty damn close to $30 million per year, Shank's singing a different tune now, in an oh-so-predictable way. Care to guess how, anyone?
Tom Brady is gone, and Robert Kraft should own thatYes it did, and it only took four words. Congratulations!
The spin started immediately.
As news of Tom Brady’s departure from New England was breaking Tuesday morning, Patriots owner Bob Kraft called ESPN’s Stephen A. Smith during a commercial break to tell Smith that the Patriots would have made a deal work if Tom really wanted to stay. It was part of a campaign by the needy owner, who will always position himself to court favor with Patriots fans.It could also be that Brady wanted a new challenge. That angle is not considered at all, or even hinted at, in this column. It's all Robert Kraft's fault - Shank has an axe to grind, and grind it he does.
In reality, of course, none of what Kraft was saying was true. In my opinion, the Patriots did not make a sincere effort to keep Brady. They did everything short of buying him a plane ticket to Tampa.
I'll give the last words to Boston Radio Watch, who sums up the situation nicely:
Brady wanted a change. End of story.

Thousands of Americans start at a new job every Monday or move to a new home/city/state every 7 years(on the average - fact, not opinion). Brady is just like everyone else. https://t.co/qM7oOm4ke7
I am increasingly convinced that no one in Boston sports media knows shit about Brady’s divorce from the Pats. pic.twitter.com/5u8H37kM6d
