Full quote, from Balestrieri’s notes this past Sunday:

Could the Patriots pull the rug out from Mayo after convincing him to remain? You betcha. If they did it to Tom Brady, they can do it to Mayo. A few years ago, I reported here that the Patriots had a three-year deal to keep Brady in New England. And that it was the Krafts, NOT Belichick, who pulled the deal, opting to go year-to-year.

I had spoken to a friend of the Bradys, who revealed this information. Tom E. Curran of NBC Sports Boston confirmed this and added that Robert Kraft made Belichick break the news to Brady.

    Not sure I’m buying this. Why is it coming out now? Feels like Bill tying to salvage PR at the end.

    However, if it is, realllllyyyy tough look for the “Kraft isn’t cheap” and “Bill has full say over the roster” looney birds.
