Tom Brady didn't feel appreciated during his final season with the New England Patriots in 2019, according to one of the quarterback's confidants.

Per ESPN's Seth Wickersham, the confidant said of Brady: "He was like, 'Why am I doing this?'"

The confidant added that Brady felt as though head coach Bill Belichick took the offense for granted due to how good it had been in past years and noted that Brady wasn't happy amid an 8-0 start since the defense was largely responsible for the team's success.
