After 20 seasons and six Super Bowl championships with the New England Patriots, the team parted ways with the legendary quarterback Tom Brady ahead of the 2020 NFL season, allowing Brady to become a free agent and sign with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. As it turns out, that was a mistake, and it sounds like team owner Robert Kraft now admits it.
Tom Brady obviously went on to have more success than the Patriots after they parted ways, winning a Super Bowl title with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in his first season with the team while the Patriots got progressively worse without him. According to the father of Tom Brady, Robert Kraft recently admitted to them that it was a mistake to let Brady leave.
“He just said, ‘I made a mistake.’ He told us that back in September,” Tom Brady Sr. told The Boston Globe. “We don’t all make the right decisions, but he’s made a hell of a lot of good ones over the years. But I know that it galls him that Tommy went elsewhere and won. Not that he won, but that he won after Bill said he was done.”
Obviously, it’s a decision Kraft wishes he could have back, but what’s done is done.
