Tom Brady’s stint in Tampa seemed like a match made in heaven for much of the last two years, and it did result in a Super Bowl victory in his first season with the Buccaneers. But Brady evidently had his gripes with the organization before announcing his retirement on Feb. 1.
Sources told The MMQB's Albert Breer that there were aspects of the Buccaneers’ organization that frustrated Brady. It's unclear whether Brady had any gripes with Tampa Bay coach Bruce Arians in particular.
Moving to Tampa was quite a culture shock for Brady coming from the tight-run ship of the Patriots with Bill Belichick at the helm. After last season’s Super Bowl win, Arians opened up about how he would let Brady and tight end Rob Gronkowski, who also played only for the Patriots during his career, take days off if needed. Such a schedule was not allowed in New England.
