Robert Kraft released a gracious statement praising Tom Brady and thanking his longtime quarterback for his contributions to the organization after Brady announced his retirement on Tuesday.
Still, according to former Patriots linebacker Ted Johnson, Kraft was less than pleased by Brady’s decision to snub the Patriots in his initial announcement.
“I was told earlier tonight that … it was an unpleasant day today at the executive offices in Foxboro, and that Robert Kraft initially when he first heard the news was very upset,” Johnson said on Boston Sports Tonight on Tuesday evening.
