The US sports insiders were saying that it's been several years that Belichick has been wanting to move on to someone else, but ownership kept saying no. I think there was at one point a strong push for both Jimmy G. and Jacoby Brissette that went no where apparently because of ownership veto. Now they say they may want to bring Brissette back.Any chance that NE told Brady that they were going in a different direction and let him choose the narrative?
Why would he announce this before signing with anyone.
This trade was a head scratchier for sure. No doubt there was a personnel conflict going on. You don't just give away 1 of the best young retrievers in the league.DeAndre Hopkins traded from the Texans (along with a fourth-round pick) in exchange for RB David Johnson, as well as a 2020 second-round pick and 2021 fourth-rounder, WTF???
Obrien must really have been fed up with Hopkins to give him away like that.
