For much of the past year, NFL legend Tom Brady has been in the public spotlight not only for his retirement and broadcasting transition but also for his high-profile breakup with supermodel Gisele Bündchen. The separation, after 13 years of marriage, undoubtedly marked a difficult personal chapter for the seven-time Super Bowl champion. However, a recent event has brought a genuine smile back to Brady’s face – one that involves a longtime friend and former teammate.
Julian Edelman, the gritty wide receiver who was an integral part of the New England Patriots‘ dynasty, was inducted into the Patriots Hall of Fame. As news of Edelman’s honor broke, Brady took to social media with a brief yet powerful message: “You deserve it.” The three words, simple but heartfelt, signaled Brady’s deep admiration for his close friend and their shared journey.
Brady and Edelman‘s bond was forged through years of on-field triumphs and off-field camaraderie. Together, they created countless unforgettable moments, including three Super Bowl titles. More than just teammates, the two developed a brotherhood that extended beyond football.
Brady finds emotional lift in Edelman’s milestone
It’s no surprise that Edelman’s induction brought joy to Brady. With Gisele now publicly moving on and Brady adjusting to post-NFL life, the emotional weight of recent changes has been evident. But celebrating Edelman’s achievement gave him a meaningful distraction – a reminder of the enduring relationships that football gifted him.
Brady, known for his fierce competitiveness, has always valued loyalty and friendship, and Edelman represents both. In a time when personal headlines often overshadow his legacy, Brady has leaned into these deep connections. It’s clear that honoring his friend has sparked a sense of happiness – one rooted in pride, nostalgia, and brotherhood.
As Brady continues to redefine his life after football and after Gisele, the celebration of Edelman‘s career might just be the kind of emotional touchdown he needed.

George Pickens trade could unlock Cowboys’ offense — and fantasy football upside for many
The Dallas Cowboys had an unserious wide receiver depth chart after elite alpha CeeDee Lamb at the beginning of the month. It was widely assumed they would address the WR2 spot in the NFL Draft but they opted to fill other needs and came out of April with Jalen Tolbert and Jonathan Mingo (theoretically) sitting behind Lamb.That changed Wednesday morning when the Cowboys struck a trade with the Pittsburgh Steelers for wide receiver George Pickens. The Cowboys sent a third-round pick back to Pittsburgh and swapped Day 3 picks in the 2027 NFL Draft.Why the Steelers dealt PickensI think it’s most instructive to examine this trade from the Steelers’ angle first, because it helps inform what Dallas is getting in Pickens. A Pickens trade has been on my radar since the end of last season, and I was willing to […]
