Tom Brady demands offensive weapons to return to the Patriots

According to Rapoport, the Patriots have been intent on keeping Brady. They believe that he still has one or two good years left. He also added that around $30 million would be a significant commitment that will bring his salary more in line with other elite quarterbacks. He also mentioned that one of Brady's demands (if he comes back to the team) is that the front-office spends money to add offensive weapons. This means that if Tom Brady does make a comeback for the Patriots, he wants to make sure that there is enough talent around him to succeed.
