Four takeaways from ESPN’s article on the Patriots

Yesterday morning, ESPN published an in-depth article by Senior Writer Seth Wickersham that detailed some of the inner issues and developments that have been rumbling around the Boston sports media since quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo was traded to the 49ers back in October. In this article, Wickersham described a rift in the relationship between quarterback Tom Brady and Head Coach Bill Belichick that has been brewing for some years.

There are many alleged causes of this rift. Brady’s personal trainer and close friend Alex Guerrero, who has garnered attention for his suspect history, has been a topic of discussion for months now since the team revoked his sideline access and is believed to be one of the root causes of the increased tension between Brady and Belichick.
