If there’s ONE thing New England Patriots fans do not need right now, it’s ANY connection between Julian Edelman and Tom Brady’s Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
They dealt with that enough the moment Brady left in free agency last March. They don’t need it again after Edelman announced his retirement from the sport and presumably closed that chapter of his life.
