Robert Kraft says he doesn't regret letting longtime quarterback
Tom Brady go in free agency last offseason, despite the Pats' struggles coinciding with Brady's first Super Bowl championship away from the franchise.
Brady spent his first 20 seasons in New England before signing with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in March 2020 and eventually winning his seventh Super Bowl in February.
“Well, after 20 years … with any player, I’ll make this commitment to any player in the future: Anyone who spends 20 years with us and helps us win six Super Bowls, we’re not gonna keep — look, we could’ve, contract-wise, kept him in our camp. But it’s just not the right thing,” Kraft said Wednesday when speaking to New England reporters. “Naturally, we want to win. But who knows what would’ve happened if he stayed here? Look what happened at the end of his last season here.”
