Dug his own grave there. Every time it’s in his hands, we don’t win. Just like taking a sack earlier in the year, or not converting on the goal line in Seattle, or taking the fumble with guaranteed OT here, it just doesn’t play out. Not looking good for Cam. And I root for the dude, I root for the team, but he’s just not pulling through when he needs to. 2-5. Very niiiice

NE should of just tried their best to keep Brady. Overpay the guy for a year but at least they would have looked respectable.

Keeping Brady wasn't about paying him. It was about being able to give him weapons. The offense floundered in the second half of last season. Given the market for receivers, there's no way the Pats could have given Brady a better chance than the Bucs to help him finish ahead of Brees on the all-time TD list.

"Basically, (Belichick said), 'What we’re going to be able to do here, Tom, is a one-year deal, but it’s not going to be for as much money as you got last year."

Curran: Bledsoe-to-Brady is a history lesson of Belichick's loyalty
According to Arnold, the Patriots currently aren't prepared to offer Brady more than the $23 million he made in 2020, in part due to Brady's $13.5 cap hit, which the Patriots would be on the hook for if he leaves in free agency. (If Brady stays, New England can make two $6.75 million payments in 2020 and 2021).

Considering Brady already was unhappy with his latest contract -- he was hoping for a two-year, $50 million deal last summer, Curran reported recently -- it seems unlikely the 42-year-old QB would go for Belichick's offer.

So, does that mean Brady will bolt for greener pastures? Not quite. Greg Bedard of the Boston Sports Journal reported Friday that Brady and Belichick are expected to speak again, and that the lack of a new NFL collective bargaining agreement is still a "real" issue that could impact their next discussion.

Belichick's offer could be just the beginning of negotiations, Bedard writes, and it's possible the head coach and quarterback find middle ground.

Then again, it's also possible Belichick low-balled the six-time Super Bowl champion, who reportedly has suitors willing to pay him up to $30 million per year in free agency.

Will Brady take one more hometown discount to run it back in New England? We may start finding out Monday, when the NFL's legal tampering window is set to open.

too many losses this year for any sort of consistency from our team

we will be fine come the time when our team is at full strength again

opt outs return to play and a healthy patriots team and we will be right where we belong

My man, stop acting like you guys were the only team with opt outs and injuries. You guys have literally nothing at QB and not much talent across the board. Bill really isn't that good at drafting either.

Ya'll are basically starting at the bottom and have been way too spoiled with Brady. Reality is about to hit you guys real hard when it comes to finding an even half way decent QB.
