Was Tom Brady Slamming Mitchell Trubisky In His Viral Free Agency Comment?

Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Tom Brady went viral this week when an interview clip revealed him throwing shade at a team who stuck with their quarterback instead of him during last year’s free agency.

“You’re sticking with that motherf**ker?” Brady joked when recalling his thoughts at the time.

At first, many people thought Tom Brady was throwing some shade at his former teammate, Jimmy Garoppolo. But after thinking it over, a lot of fans now have other thoughts.

FS1 host Colin Cowherd said on “The Herd” today that he thought Tom Brady was talking about Mitchell Trubisky and the Chicago Bears.

Cowherd is skeptical that Tom Brady would have been slamming Garoppolo, considering the two quarterbacks share the same agent.

I also agree that it’s entirely possible that Tom Brady was throwing shade at the Chicago Bears, but that doesn’t necessarily mean his comments were only directed at Mitchell Trubisky. Remember, the Bears traded for Nick Foles last offseason, and most people were under the assumption that the team was planning on starting Foles over Trubisky at the time.

Brady and Foles also have the obvious history, with Foles and the Eagles defeating Brady’s Patriots in Super Bowl LII. Since then, Brady has been known to snub Nick Foles, opting not to shake the fellow QB’s hand at midfield.

We can speculate on who Tom Brady was talking about all day.

It could have been Mitchell Trubisky, Nick Foles, Jimmy Garoppolo, or a lot of other quarterbacks. I doubt Brady will ever reveal the truth.
