Tom Brady has taken a swipe at Daniel Jones over his New York Giants exit after admitting he would not have asked to be released from a team that ‘committed a lot to you’.
Jones left the Giants last week after approaching owner John Mara and asking to be released from his contract, a request which was swiftly accepted.
‘I don’t know how the whole situation went down, but to think that you would ask to be released from a team that committed a lot to you is maybe different than I would have handled that,’ Brady said.
‘I always felt I wanted to get the trust and respect of my teammates regardless of the situation, knowing that I was trying to be the best that I could for the team because that was the most important thing.’
The seven-time Super Bowl winner went on to add: ‘There’s just some different things that happen in the NFL, and everyone makes individual choices.
‘I think we all at different points in our career face different challenges. I faced them in college and some things didn’t go the way I wanted, but the people that mattered most to me were the guys in the locker room.
‘I showed up every day. I don’t care if they asked me to be scout team safety [or] be scout team quarterback… I was gonna do whatever I can to help the team win.’
