Robert Kraft Reveals Tom Brady Was The One Who Wanted To Leave The Patriots

Robert Kraft and Bill Belichick have been blasted all morning by Patriots fans who think they are the sole cause of Tom Brady not returning to the team in 2020.

Robert Kraft is saying in so many words that this way of thinking is not true.

During a talk with Michael Giardi of NFL Network, the Patriots owner revealed that if Tom Brady actually wanted a deal with the team, he would have it. He added Brady was the one who believed it was time to turn the page.

Robert Kraft told me "if Tom wanted to remain a Patriot, we would have had a deal." Said Brady believes it was best to turn the page and start a new chapter of his life in football and beyond. #Patriots @nflnetwork

Stephen A just said Robert Kraft called him during the last commercial break and told him: "….be very clear if Tom Brady wanted to stay we would've worked it out, and he would've remained a New England Patriot. But Tom Brady wanted to leave."
