Asante Samuel has a theory on why Tom Brady left New England: He got tired of playing for Bill Belichick.
"He probably just got tired of it," Samuel told TMZ Sports. "He probably got tired of some inner-circle things that he wanted. Maybe he wanted receivers and tight ends to stay there with him, and maybe Bill tried to trade them. Who knows what happened?"
Of course, this is far from an unpopular theory. There were reports of tension between Brady and Belichick at several points over the last few years, most notably regarding the quarterback's training regimen and presence of trainer Alex Guerrero.
