Belichick May not stay with Patriots

Not at all hard to believe given the egos involved there.

Brady envisions himself as a Superman who can play 'til he's 50 and there's already been a whole lot of friction already caused by Belicheat keeping Brady's personal trainer off the Pats premises.  This is where egos and arrogance gets you.  Who runs that team, BB or Brady?

Under normal circumstances Brady would be wrapping up his HOF career and Jimmy G would be prepping to step in as the starter in 2019 once the Pats signed him long term as they would have liked to do.  I could understand even last spring why BB didn't want to trade JG for that very reason which is what led to his price to make a trade one everyone knew no one would pay.

But if Garoppolo stays there will be constant pressure for Brady to yield and in every game he'd be under a microscope with the media and others looking for any sign of a decline.  Knowing Brady that would not set well with him or his massive ego.  In dictatorships the competition is murdered or simply "disappears".  In the NFL the competition to a dictator gets traded or released.

Now that Jimmy G is gone it would not shock me at all to see BB hang it up and let Kraft and Brady sort it out.

This could also set up another power struggle for who replaces him?  Will McDik and Patricia decline current HC offer and decide to stick around and battle over the bones if BB leaves?  Stay tuned. This could be good.

I agree. BB could leave and if he does, Brady screwed the team. No QB (although Kraft is the guy that really did the screwing - he should have said, "talk to Bill") for the future and no stud HC. Wow.... what a fall that would be.

BB would want roster control and that will not happen with Pace as GM.  He will not be entertaining Chicago any time soon.
