Message: [QUOTE="BigErnMcCracken, post: 3716785, member: 70"] I don't think Brady forced Kraft to make Belichick trade Jimmy. I think Belichick would have preferred to move on from Brady, knew that Kraft loved him, and then realized when Brady continued to be effective and both he and Kraft were promoting the idea that he was going to play into his 40s that there was no way they were going to be able to keep Jimmy G around so he sent him out west. I've read that Kraft was disappointed that they didn't get more for him. One of the takeaways from that Jeff Benedict book The Dynasty is that the relationship between Belichick and Brady was way more strained than they let on. Brady was dying to get out of New England. [B]Speaking of "didn't get more for him," I'll just point out that Belichick burned a second round pick on M. Sanu a year ago and he is currently unemployed.[/B] [/QUOTE]
