Tom Brady soon to be on the move? If the opportunity presented itself, what if...?


Recommended Posts

Hello everyone, I am a new poster here, I will put my efforts to be a casual one. I however, live in Denver and love no other team over my Denver Broncos! Why am I here? I have seen, followed, and cheered Clausen since he started for Notre Dame. He was my favorite Quarterback in the draft and one of the best picks of the past two years. Yes, better than Stafford and Sanchez, JaMarcus Russell, McCoy, and Bradford. So as of now I like Carolina as my close second favorite team. Go Panthers!!

Now, onto my main topic.

Tom Brady is a golden child of the NFL, a pathed road to Canton Ohio. However his contract is about up. And Tom Brady does not deny that he would like to be traded. If Montana and Jerry Rice can do it, why not him?

Take a look

Here's some more from the radio guys' talk with the quarterback ...

<strong> On the contract in general:</strong> "The thing is, no matter what I want, it doesn’t matter. I could say this is exactly what I want. I’m not gonna be really attached to that, because it’s not up to me. There are a lot of people involved. Every player on the team wants a contract, and to be fairly compensated. So does Logan (Mankins), you know? So did Vince (Wilfork) last year, so do all the other third-year guys, so does Wes (Welker). I mean, Wes doesn’t make a lot of money, but he’s one of best receivers in the league. We all want to be compensated fairly, but we also understand we signed contracts and that’s why we’re here to show up and give our best."

On showing up without a new deal: "That’s how my dad would want me to handle it, and that’s how he taught me to handle it. Show up and play and do what you said you’re gonna do and that’s what I’m doing. That’s where my mind’s at. I just want to have a great season. I want to be the leader the team expects me to be. I want to play at a level that I expect myself to play at. If your mind is full of all these things – ‘Man, I wish it was like this’ or ‘I wish it was like that’ – then it really defeats the attitude, it’s really a self-destructive attitude. Now if everything was up to me like it’s up to a professional golfer, that’s different. But it’s a team sport and a team relationship."

On playing golf with Robert Kraft: "He and I haven’t had many chances to talk over the last six or seventh months. He asked me to come down and play, and I wasn’t doing much, my wife was out of town. I haven’t had a chance to play much, so I decided to take him up on it."

On his relationship with ownership: "We’ve been through a lot. It’s been a great relationship since I’ve been, with myself and the team and the organization and I don’t want anything to ever get in the way of that. You gotta be able to separate what the good part of a relationship is, and then obviously the parts of the relationship that you’d rather not deal with. You have to deal with them. ... Mr. Kraft and Jonathan and the family, they’ve done everything they could to make this organization the best one in the league. The way that they treat us, with our stadium, with our practice facility, with the way they handle our travel and our food, we’re so well taken care. It’s a great place to play and obviously I hope I’m here for a long time. So we’ll see how that goes."

If he becomes available would Carolina be able to nab him with a 1st and Matt Moore? If it were possible would you want to pull the trigger?
