Why didn’t McNally blame Brady?

Here’s an angle regarding the Ted Wells investigation that occurred to me while reading the full transcript of his Tuesday press conference; specifically, the spot where Wells was reading verbatim some of the text messages sent by Jim McNally to John Jastremski. Profanity included.

McNally had no qualms in his text messages about demonstrating hostility to Tom Brady. Which suggests that, with the right amount of pressure, McNally may have given Brady up as the mastermind of the scheme to deflate footballs.

“Tom sucks,” McNally said in October after Brady complained about the footballs in the Jets game.
