Tom Brady fires back, calls report of 'deteriorating relationship' with Josh McDaniels 'nonsense'
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}An initial report stating that Tom Brady’s departure from the New England Patriots earlier this offseason was fueled by a “deteriorating relationship” with offensive coordinator Josh McDaniels is false according to Brady himself.
Longtime NFL columnist Gary Myers said, “Tom was worn out by Josh after all these years,” noting, “Brady also wanted more input into game plan.” Myers added that Brady knew it was his final season in New England, and he didn’t trust any of his wide receivers outside of Julian Edelman.
