AP Photo/Jason BehnkenFuture Hall of Fame quarterback Tom Brady reportedly had some issues with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers before announcing his retirement earlier this month.
There were things about the program that frustrated Brady according to Albert Breer.
Despite that, he led the Bucs to a Super Bowl win to close out the 2020 season and anNFC South title in 2021, before they fell to the Los Angeles Rams in the divisional round.
The report from Breer came on the heels of a report from Rich Ohrnberger, a former New England offensive lineman, who detailed issues between Brady and the head coach.
Brady retired because his relationship with Arians was souring, according to Ohrnberger.
Brady and Leftwich would work on game plans, but only for Arians to show up and make changes, according to Ohrnberger. That made Brady and Leftwich feel undermined.
The report was shot down by Arians when he spoke to Rick Stroud of the Tampa Bay Times.
In reference to the rumor, he said: "That's such bulls--t." That pisses me off. I guess it's possible that Byron could corroborate this.
Breer reported Monday that he had not heard anything about Brady having a problem with Arians.
It came as a bit of a surprise when rumors of Brady's retirement first surfaced, given how well he had been playing.
Brady was well past his prime when most quarterbacks are at their best, but he continued to perform at an elite level.
Brady had one of his best seasons in terms of completions, passing yards and passing touchdown, as he led the league in completions, passing yards and passing touchdown.
He finished second in the NFL's Most Valuable Player voting, just missing out on his fourth career award.
Brady had nothing left to prove as an NFL quarterback, so he retired.
He was a 15-time Pro Bowler, seven-time Super Bowl champion and five-time Super Bowl winner, cementing his status as a true legend of the sport.
There is no heir apparent to Tom Terrific on the roster, so the Bucs are left to figure out life after Brady.
