Tom Brady Didn’t Thank the Patriots in His Retirement Announcement Because He Planned to Play Them Twice a Year With the Dolphins

Another day, another report about Tom Brady's plans to leave the Buccaneers for the Dolphins.  It's been talked about ever since he ended his retirement to return to Tampa Bay.

This time it's not Mike Florio making those claims.  Boston Globe reporter Ben Volin claims that the reason Brady's retirement announcement was only aimed at the Bucs was because he had no real intentions of retiring.

Brady's plan, according to Florio and now Volin, was to join the Dolphins and play the Patriots twice a year.

"Holy shit. That is crazy." -- Dan after @BenVolin revealed that Tom Brady didn't thank the Patriots in his goodbye letter because he planned to play them twice a year -- as a member of the Miami Dolphins. #whatcouldhavebeen

If Brian Flores' claims about the hiring practices in the NFL are true, then his lawsuit is much more important that Tom Brady getting to leave Tampa Bay for the Miami Dolphins.  But it would have been a lot of fun to watch.

Whether Brady was really going to retire or not doesn't matter now.  He's going to play another season in Tampa then we'll see what happens.
