When Tom Brady announced his retirement in February, many people were shocked to see him snub Bill Belichick and the New England Patriots in his letter. It led to many theories about a possible return to Boston or a separate special program or announcement since he spent the majority of his legendary career with the team.
However, according to Ben Volin of the Boston Globe, that’s not necessarily the case. In relation to his report about Brady initially angling to move to the Miami Dolphins, the reason Brady didn’t include the Patriots to his letter was because they were actually still going to meet twice a year.
