Tom Brady is a person who stays calm during off-field interviews and conversations. He channels out the peaceful and fun side when not slinging passes and getting an adrenaline rush. But one remains noticeable when the NFL GOAT made a menacing rant over an unidentified QB and a franchise. The answer might be out in the wild, as an NFL reporter lays out a striking theory.

This year’s offseason was very interesting. Tom Brady announced his retirement from football. But he came back soon after. TB12 and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers were hunting for athletes as they aim to clinch another Lombardi. If Brady makes it happen, it could be a fairytale ending to his illustrious career.
In June of last year, Tom Brady appeared on HBO’s ‘The Shop‘ alongside Draymond Green, Chelsea Handler, Kid Cudi, Maverick Carter, and Paul Rivera. He mentioned a team backed out of his free agency bid at the last moment to recruit another QB. It was unclear who it was, but Dov Kleiman may have figured that out.

Kleiman claims if that team was the Miami Dolphins, Brady was referring to Ryan Fitzpatrick. Strikingly, the QB agreed to a two-year contract with the Dolphins before the 2019 season. When the team slipped on TB12, Fitzpatrick already existed on the list as a backup. The team then chose Tua Tagovailoa in the 2020 draft.
Another mystery that was solved after the NFL found the Dolphins guilty of tampering. We now know who's the "motherf**ker" that @TomBrady referenced on The Shop
The motherf**ker? Ryan Fitzpatrick

Tom Brady mentions in ‘The Shop’, “There was a story in free agency — and one of the teams, they were interested. And all of a sudden, they weren’t interested in the very end. I was sitting there thinking, ‘You’re sticking with that motherf*cker? Are you serious?’”

The league found them guilty of violating the NFL anti-tampering policy following an investigation to determine whether they breached rules on game dignity. According to the investigative process, in 2019-2020 and after the 2021 season, the Dolphins engaged in “impermissible communications” with Tom Brady. Miami did the same to Sean Payton’s agent in January 2022.

As a result, The Miami Dolphins land in serious trouble and lose their 2023 first-round and 2024 third-round picks. Dolphins owner Stephen Ross faces a $1.5 million fine besides being barred from attending league meetings till 2023. Fortunately, Brady and Payton will face no disciplinary measures from the NFL.
