Agree with the sentiment but think that Brady stands in a category apart with Bob Kraft. Brady had him with, "Mr. Kraft, this is the best decision you ever made, I promise you that ..." and then everything else that has followed.
This does not -- let me say it again, NOT -- mean what TB will play one down longer than BB wants him playing. Quite the opposite -- Kraft will yield on who should start at QB.
But I don't think the Patriots will dispatch TB to East Buttfuck because that's who will be offering the best deal. That's where I think Kraft steps in.
Whenever it ends, it will be a delicate dance -- unless Tom decides he wants to them up. If he doesn't while in a Pats uniform and the Pats want to move on, I can easily see Kraft granting him a release, with perhaps an understanding of certain teams he would not go to.
