After a long and successful stint with the New England Patriots, Tom Brady is bidding farewell. During his Patriots tenure, he and offensive coordinator Josh McDaniels shared a harmonious relationship with one another. However, when Brady chose to join the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, some speculated that Brady and McDaniels had a falling out.

It wasn’t long before Brady responded to the claims and rubbished them. According to former New York Daily News journalist Gary Myers, Brady’s had a “deteriorating relationship” with McDaniels. Hence this play a role in the quarterback’s exit from the franchise.

Myers believed that McDaniels ‘wore out’ Brady after all these years and wanted more input into the game plan. On Monday night, Brady took to Instagram to clear the air and deny that McDaniels was a reason he left New England.
