ESPN’s much-discussed story on what is described as growing tension inside the New England Patriots noted that Tom Brady and Jimmy Garoppolo share the same agent, California attorney Don Yee. The author of the ESPN story, Seth Wickersham, reports that Brady and Garoppolo sharing the same agent “complicated” efforts by the Patriots to retain both quarterbacks. Those efforts proved unsuccessful—in October the Patriots dealt Garoppolo, set to become a free agent this offseason, to the San Francisco 49ers in exchange for a 2018 second-round pick. Since that time, Garoppolo has become the 49ers starting quarterback and he led the team to a 5-0 record to close out the 2017 regular season.
Should Agent Don Yee be Allowed to Represent Brady and Garoppolo?
