REPORT: NFL Insider Addresses Rumor That Tom Brady Pushed Bruce Arians Into Retirement (VIDEO)

There has been a lot said regarding the relationship between Tom Brady and Bruce Arians ever since the quarterback retired back in February. A report from former NFL offensive lineman Rich Ohrnberger, who was drafted by the New England Patriots in 2009, said that much.

Apparently, while Arians was rehabbing the achilles in the early mornings, offensive coordinator Byron Leftwich and Brady would work on the week's game plan. Arians would later come in and take the red pen to work they'd done. The QB and OC felt undermined, there was tension.

There’s been speculation that Brady, a seven-time Super Bowl-winning quarterback, did not get along with Arians. Some suggested that Brady retired following the 2021 season because he wanted to force his way out of Tampa Bay and play elsewhere.

On Friday, ESPN NFL insider Jeff Darlington addressed another rumor that Tom Brady persuaded Bruce Arians to retire as a condition for returning to the team.

“[Arians] said that ‘Tom coming back made this decision easier…’ Tom coming back means that now this team is better off for his successor in Todd Bowles.”

In reality, Arians wanted to leave the team in the best position for his successor, Todd Bowles, to succeed immediately.
