Speculation continues to run rampant about Tom Brady and what comes next in his Hall of Fame career, and his purported unhappiness with his situation suggests his time with the New England Patriots could be nearing its end.
Gary Tanguay of NBC Sports Boston relayed Thursday night that Brady is embarrassed by how his salary with the Patriots pales in comparison to what many of his quarterback colleagues earn.
There are 13 NFL quarterbacks who earn more on an annual basis than Brady, according to the website Over the Cap. This slight is believed to have been aggravating Brady since last summer.
It does merit noting that Brady has agreed to team-friendly deals during his Patriots career so the organization would be better positioned to surround him with high-caliber players. With the Patriots offense struggling mightily in 2019 due to a dearth of talent, perhaps Bradys patience with his middling quarterback salary has worn thin.

(15,265 posts)"hometown discount" his entire career to help them stay under the salary cap so they can afford to provide him with an offensive line and "offensive weapons" to win with. Then they field a (relative to Patriots standards) a shitty team this year.

(29,322 posts)Brady averaged 5.9 yards per pass attempt from week 9 to 17 so for some of the blame he can look in the mirror.
This was the WR they drafted in the first round.

On the other hand, Brady has taken team friendly deals for many years with the idea that the extra money will be spent to surround him with talent. The Patriots absolutely did not do that this year, so I can understand why hes a little pissed.
The problem for Brady is that maybe hes finally decided he wants to be paid like a top NFL QB now that he no longer is one. Belichick wont pay him that kind of money, and if Kraft makes him, Belichick could walk.
