Tom Brady's departure from Patriots appears imminent as no deal from either side in place, NFL insider says
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}Tom Brady’s complete departure from the New England Patriots appears imminent as the new league year is set to begin Wednesday with the quarterback’s contract voiding on the same day.

Why would they think that now when this has been going on since he put the motion into place where basically he voided the contract? There haven’t been any substantial contract negotiations.

“Why do people think now, all of a sudden, at the 24th hour, something is going to get done that hasn’t gotten done in previous weeks and months?”
