Read between the lines of Tom Brady’s Players’ Tribune essay: He’s unhappy with Bill Belichick

https://www.washingtonpost.com/sports/2020/04/06/read-between-lines-tom-bradys-players-tribune-essay-hes-unhappy-with-bill-belichick/

"At this point, it has been well established by reporters covering the New England Patriots that tensions marked the final few years of the Tom Brady-Bill Belichick partnership and led to the quarterback’s recent defection to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. ...

It was what Brady did not write in a lengthy essay published by the Players’ Tribune that seemed telling. Specifically, over 2,633 words delving into his thinking behind leaving the place where he won six Super Bowls, Brady only mentions in an offhand, less-than-complimentary way the coach who helped him reach those unprecedented heights.

Elsewhere, he asserts he is very much looking forward to feeling appreciated and respected by the Buccaneers, leaving readers to guess at how that might differ from the way he felt treated by the Patriots.
...

Nevertheless, when Brady writes that “it’s the relationships I made in New England that I’ll miss the most,” he somehow neglects to name-check the single figure with whom he is inextricably linked.
...

At another point in the essay, he writes that playing for the Bucs will be not only “an opportunity to lead and collaborate” but “also to be seen and heard.” Brady adds that he wants to “make sure my priorities are in the right place” by finding a balance between football and spending enough time with his children.
...

Another reporter for ESPN, Ian O’Connor, quoted a friend of Brady’s in a story Sunday as having said “Tom was Belichick’d out after 20 years.”

That came approximately a year and a half after a book by O’Connor quoted a source who said: “Tom knows Bill is the best coach in the league, but he’s had enough of him. If Tom could, I think he would divorce him.”"

And they're getting the band back together. Rob Gronkowski is apparently coming out of retirement and will be dealt to Tampa Bay to join up with Brady, again.

N. Greenberg ranks these two second (behind the combo Matt Ryan & Julio Jones, Atlanta Falcons):

Tom Brady and Rob Gronkowski are among the best passing combos of the past decade

https://www.washingtonpost.com/sports/2020/04/28/tom-brady-rob-gronkowski-among-best-passing-combos-past-decade/

"Brady and Gronkowski have connected for 7,786 yards and 78 touchdowns. Brady has averaged a 123.9 passer rating when targeting Gronkowski and a 94.7 passer rating when targeting anyone else. It’s clear they had tremendous chemistry on the field, but is it enough to anoint them the best passer-receiver tandem of the past decade?"
