TAMPA, Fla. _ Tom Brady said that he knew before the start of the 2019 season that it would be his final one after 20 years with the New England Patriots.
"I don't think there was a final, final decision before it happened," Brady said Wednesday during an interview on the Howard Stern Show. "But I would say I probably knew before the start of last season that it was my last year. I knew that our time was coming to an end."
For more than two hours, in a provocative and deeply probing interview by Howard Stern on Sirius Radio, Brady did not hold back on his split with the Patriots, his decision to move to Tampa Bay and join the Bucs, living in Derrick Jeter's house or how his wife wrote him a letter two years ago saying she was unhappy with his role in their marriage.
It is clear that not playing for the Patriots has given Brady a stronger voice and control of his own career and he is using it.
Here are some of the highlights.
