Charlie Weis has watched Tom Brady as close as almost anybody since the beginning. He was the Patriots offensive coordinator from 2000-2004 and helped design the offense Brady ran in three Super Bowl winning seasons. When it comes to Brady’s pending free agency, he has just one question, as he told 98.5 The Sports Hub’s Zolak and Bertrand on Monday.
“If he didn’t want to be free, why is he free?” Weis posed during his Super Bowl radio row chat. “This is a rhetorical question…If he didn’t want to be free, he’d be under contract. But he’s free.”
Brady’s contract is set to expire on March 18. If he and the Patriots don’t reach a deal between now and then, he’ll become an unrestricted free agent for the first time in his career. Weis thinks Brady may be looking forward to the opportunity.
“Now why would you be free if you didn’t want to explore other places? Why wouldn’t he just have a couple of years [on a contract] in New England and be done with it.”
