Hoyer reveals Brady told him to be ready to ‘play the whole year' in 2019 originally appeared on NBC Sports Boston

Tom Brady's illustrious New England Patriots career ended on a sour note. The legendary quarterback's last pass with the team was intercepted, a fitting finish to a 2019 season remembered more for what happened off the field than on it.

Brady wanted a two-year, $50 million contract from the Patriots ahead of the 2019 campaign, according to our Tom E. Curran. His contract situation added to the rift between him and then-Pats head coach/general manager Bill Belichick, so much so that he apparently told fellow QB Brian Hoyer to prepare to play the entire season.
