Devin McCourty said Tom Brady’s departure ‘wasn’t like the end of the world’

Devin McCourty was understandably a bit preoccupied as speculation about Tom Brady’s future took over the NFL offseason.

The Patriots safety was a free agent after spending all 10 seasons of his NFL career in New England. He watched the Patriots pick up the team option on the contract of his twin brother, Jason, but didn’t know if he would be playing alongside him again. McCourty, 33, spent the early offseason focusing on himself.

“I honestly didn’t think twice about Tom Brady’s free agency because I was a free agent,” McCourty told SiriusXM NFL Radio.
