The NFL’s reports on the Dolphins tampering investigation appeared to answer a lot of questions over how Miami ran its team recently. The league determined that the Dolphins had “impermissible” contact with Tom Brady before the quarterback became a free agent in 2020.
That illegal contact may have given us an answer to a different lingering question from the past year. When Brady appeared on The Shop in June of last year, he referenced that there was a team that backed out of his free agency bidding at the last minute to stick with another quarterback.
