Report: Patriots players were at peace with Tom Brady’s departure for this reason

Spending 20 seasons with one organization can build up tension and resentment behind the scenes.

Robert Kraft, Bill Belichick and Tom Brady understand this struggle and how tough it can be to balance. On the surface, many people believed the relationships were great within the New England Patriots’ organization. Understandably so, there’s been rumors and talk of tension among the three powerful figures for years now.

Some of that tension may come from working with the same people over an extended period of time in a hostile environment, but one of Brady’s biggest issues was the lack of weapons he had in New England.
