Mikko Koillinen believes that media pressure caused Tom Brady to make an urgent decision to close in early February. The 45-year-old sports legend is once again making the Tampa Bay Buccaneers a champion.
The legend of American football quarterback Tom Brady has reversed its termination decision. He will continue his playing career next season at the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
The termination of seven-time NFL champion Brady was announced last month.
Brady, who turns 45 this year, said in a social media update that he understood that his place is still on the field and not in the auditorium.
– In the last two months, I have realized that my place is still on the ground, not in the auditorium. Its time is yet to come. But it is not now. We have unfinished businesses, Brady wrote.
Coaching the Finnish men’s national team in American football Mikko Koallinen considers the series of events special. Koikan believes that Brady would not have stopped after last season if the rumors of quitting had not been leaked and covered at the turn of January-February.
– There were a lot of rumors about the return. No one really believed in the previous decision to quit. Brady is usually really sure of what he’s doing. He wants to be well in control of everything that is said about him, Koallinen says.
– Now the retirement came to the fore through other reporters and not from him himself. It seemed to me that this became such a mess. Brady seemed to be forced to retire before he had time to think about it. His own process was speeded up by reporting from the outside, Koallinen reflects.
The Buccaneers will fight for the championship next season
In terms of building the Buccaneers team, Brady’s announcement came at the best possible time.
– Now a new league year is starting, ie players are allowed to sign contracts with other teams. Tampa really has a lot of free agents as players who can move elsewhere or continue in the company. If Brady decides to continue, it is likely that many of these free agents will continue in the Buccaneers as well, Koallinen says.
According to Koikkalainen, the continuation of Brady may attract important extension agreements Carlton Davisi, To Jordan Whiteheadand To Rob Gronkowskiwho has been playing with Brady for a long time. Upon receiving the players, the Buccaneers will be one of the championship favorites next winter.
Koikan estimates that it is the weaker NFC conference in the NFL series that is one of the reasons why Brady wanted to continue his career in Tampa Bay. The strength of the team is evenness and a line of attack that protects the quarterback.
– Brady has a familiar environment and familiar winger to whom the ball can be thrown. There aren’t many teams in the NFC conference that would go on with them. Green Bay is a favorite at this wound, but Tampa is second.
Next season is Bradyn’s 23rd in the NFL. He has played in the series since the turn of the millennium, first 20 through the New England Patriots and two most recently through the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. He has won the series championship seven times.
