You’re misrepresenting the situation. “Don’t currently intend to re-sign,” at least in sports terms, means the team is going to let the player go. The buccaneers very much do not want to let Brady go. They intend to re-sign him if he chooses to stay in Tampa bay. That is the truth of the matter, not “they don’t currently intend to re-sign him”

This is untrue though. Just because Brady is set to be a free agent because his contract expired doesn’t mean they don’t currently intend to re-sign him. per Ian Rapoport within the article he’s quoted as saying he doesn’t know if Brady will return to Tampa bay despite the fact they “very much want him back”

Belichick got a second rounder for garoppolo, so he extracted the same value for the player that he used by initially drafting him. Could he have gotten more? Maybe, but it’s not like they got nothing. Also the narrative with Brady and jimmy g is completely overblown. All 3 of Brady, jimmy g and brissett still talk from time to time. Brady doesn’t hate jimmy g and never did

He plays in the most qb friendly offense in the league. Everything is set up for Purdy to succeed there. He was bad against the eagles before he got hurt

The buccaneers have not said they don’t intend to re-sign him. There have been reports either way about Brady leaving or staying but nothing definitive

It’s not semantics at all. Your original comments paints the situation as the buccaneers choosing to let Brady leave, which isn’t true. Rapoport, like I showed, said that the Bucs want to keep Brady. The whole situation is up to Brady. So while it may not be entirely accurate to say they intend to re-sign him, because the decision is ultimately Brady’s, it’s entirely untrue to say they don’t intend to re-sign him. entirely untrue
