Speculation has stirred around factors in Tom Brady’s retirement.
The 44-year-old could clearly play at least another season, and his family was the primary reason for putting football behind him. But, there were rumors that Brady’s relationship with Tampa Bay Buccaneers head coach Bruce Arians played a role in his decision.
Former New England Patriots lineman Rich Ohrnberger reported that the “honeymoon was over” and that the relationship was souring. Ohrnberger went on to tell a story that Arians would rehab his achilles in the mornings while Brady and offensive coordinator Byron Leftwich would work on the week’s game plan. Ohrnberger said Arians would later come and change the plan up — making Brady and Leftwich feel undermined.
