Voluntary offseason workouts are exactly that, they’re voluntary, and when Buccaneers quarterback Tom Brady spoke out in favor of players staying away from them, most assumed it was to the benefit of players longevity. Tom Brady looking out for his NFL brethren. But some aren’t buying that, and some know Tom may have some ulterior motives when he preaches to stay away.

Hall of Fame quarterback Troy Aikman isn’t exactly buying Tom’s message.

“I was surprised to hear Tom Brady say ‘Yeah, the players need more time off,’” Aikman said on the Flying Coach podcast with Rams coach Sean McVay and Peter Schrager, via JoeBucsFan.com. “He was very vocal. It shocked me, because I know Tom well. . . . And then I realized, that’s the greatness of Tom Brady, because I can assure you, he’s not taking those days off and that team is not taking those days off, and so he views it as a total competitive advantage. If teams are practicing less and he’s practicing more, that’s going to give him a leg up on the competition, and I think that was really the whole motivation in his comments.”

Tom is next-level smart, and he’s all about getting any type of edge.

Brady and his teammates got plenty of work in, they’re not staying away from workouts.

They’re ready to go for 2021.
