Fed up With Bill Belichick, Gisele Bündchen Requested Tom Brady to Quit New England Patriots in 2018, Says Robert Kraft

Bill Belichick took center stage in ‘The Dynasty’ docuseries but surprisingly this time not in a completely positive light. With the Apple TV+ as the broadcaster, the 10-part docuseries focuses on the New England Patriots’ remarkable run between 2000 and 2020. On delivering unique behind-the-scenes insights, it left the viewers questioning the fairness of the Patriots’ HC/GM. 

Several moments in the docuseries highlight Belichick as the central figure for criticism. He can be seen being held responsible for driving the legendary Patriots quarterback Tom Brady out of Foxborough to Tampa Bay back in 2020. Furthermore, Robert Kraft, the owner of the Kraft Dynasty LLC, critically voiced his opinion about the Belichick-Brady feud. As brought forward by him, there prevailed a dysfunctional relationship between the quarterback and the general manager, so much so, that it left Brady on the verge of cutting ties with the Patriots. 

The docuseries recalled a moment when in the spring of 2018 Brady and his former wife Gisele Bündchen visited Kraft. About the particular occasion Kraft revealed, “I heard Gisele say, ‘That effin’ Belichick, he doesn’t treat my Tommy like a man’”. This was then followed by Bündchen’s suggestion for her then-husband, “Tommy, if you want to go, I’ll work it out so you can go”. The recap of the conversation leaves fans reminiscing about the Belichick-Brady feud. 

Insights into the Brady-Belichick strain

Brady revealed the truth about the moment when he realized that he had a clear picture of the fact that he was not going to make a comeback for the Patriots as a free agent in 2020. Even though the Brady-Belichick duo witnessed two decades of unprecedented success, their deteriorating relationship became troublesome. It has been reported that Belichick was not in agreement with Brady’s personal trainer, Alex Guerrero’s belief in the quarterback’s capabilities.

The docuseries delved into the timeline of the tension between the two, citing that drafting Jimmy Garoppolo in 2014 was a potential source of strain. Even though the Patriots traded Garoppolo in 2017, Brady failed to secure the multiyear extension that he sought. To substantiate the ‘brutal’ treatment that the legendary quarterback received from Belichick, other notable Patriots players of Brady’s time including Matthew Slater, Rob Gronkowski and Wes Welker poured valuable insights.

Brady already shared a complex relationship with Belichick and the $70 million two-year contract that the player signed in 2019 served as a prime opportunity to bring an end to the tussle. Having a void year, he became a free agent and signed with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in 2020, which marked a new chapter in his illustrious career. The detailed illustration and comprehensive view of the historical moments leave fans with more clarity about the friction points between Brady and Belichick.
