Julian Edelman unfollows then re-follows Tom Brady on Instagram after Gronk trade

There may be some trouble in paradise in the relationship between Patriots wide receiver Julian Edelman and now Buccaneers quarterback Tom Brady.

Following the news that Rob Gronkowski was traded from New England, along with a seventh-round pick, to Tampa Bay to join Brady, everybody scoured the internet for reactions. It would be expected for Edelman to post something or comment something about the trade on social media, but what was found was a lot more interesting.

Apparently, Edelman, who has been known to be extremely close with the former Patriots quarterback and tight end, has unfollowed Brady on his Instagram account.

However, it appears that someone found out about this becoming a story and Edelman re-followed Brady again.

It’s all very strange. Was it an accident? How long exactly was Edelman not following Brady? If it was on purpose what would it mean? Could Edelman be upset that Brady is choosing to bring Gronk to Tampa Bay over him? No one will really ever know the truth. If it addressed, Edelman will probably say it was an accident or a glitch, but who knows.

The social media game is a strange one, and unfortunately for those following along, there often aren’t answers.
