Would've been nice to see him win a Super Bowl with San Francisco. But glad to hear he's coming back either way.
Someone just purchased his "last TD" ball from last season for 500k at auction. Wonder if it maintains its value.
I'm sure he was reassured by the Bucs that he will have all the offensive players he requires if he comes back. I would expect some new signings in the next month

Brady was playing 2018 and 2019 with NE and Jimmy was a FA, of course he was gonna be gone. There was no soap opera to that.
Don't see how leaving NE was "dragged out" either, that happened pretty much right after the 2019 season ended
As far as this, he retired for a month and decided against it. Yeah it is kinda corny but who gives a shit? Not like he's calling his future a beautiful mystery after a playoff loss lol
Not saying it wasn't debunked , but that was an emberrasing press conference with that subject. Most thought he wasn't being honest..
The story out of NE , was Brady wanted Jimmy G out , Bill wanted to keep him. He was a FA , but at that time , nobody had an idea how long Brady was going to play, so it was possible he was going to resign with the team. At the time , it seemed like Brady and coach were butting heads over this. Media seemed to be over the target also
Well, once Jimmy is a FA (after the '17 season) only 1 of them is gonna be on the team. You're not gonna keep both, Jimmy isn't gonna comeback as a backup when other NFL teams would start him and pay him good money. That isn't any kinda ultimatum, it is just reality only 1 is gonna be on the team. Jimmy wanted out, he wasn't gonna be a backup anymore.
I guess Brady didn't handle deflategate great but that was a weird ass story and now that it has basically come out that balls can deflate in bad weather and it was a stupid witch hunt where the NFL likely knew they were wrong but was just too prideful to back down, you can see why he was basically blindsided by the whole thing.

Brady wasn't retiring after the 2017 season. Once he says that, NE (Kraft/BB/whoever) had to decide between Brady and Jimmy. Obviously NE wasn't getting rid of Brady when he had a few years left vs Jimmy Garapollo.
After 2017, they couldn't really be on the same team at the same time because both obviously would need to start.
Maybe there was friction because BB wanted to keep Jimmy, but that isn't any kinda ultimatum.
I can't help but wonder if he was coming back all along and just hoping Tampa Bay made a move for a QB earlier (Jimmy G), opening the door for him to go to the 49ers without looking like the bad guy. Now with free agency starting tomorrow and Gronk/Jensen looking elsewhere he knew he had to announce his comeback to try and keep the gang together.
