Tom Brady could miss first day of offseason program

There’s much consternation in many cities if the team’s best player doesn’t show up for the first day of voluntary offseason workouts.

That shouldn’t be the case with the Patriots.

Via Albert Breer of SI.com, Patriots quarterback Tom Brady isn’t expected to be on hand for the start of the conditioning program.

But he’s not holding out for a new contract or in some kind of tiff with Bill Belichick over his training methods, he’s off doing some good for the world. He’s leaving today for Qatar to do work for his charity, Best Buddies.
