In a revealing new documentary, Brady and former teammates discuss the challenging environment under Belichick and the team's storied history.

Tom Brady reveals in a new documentary that his relationship with former coach Bill Belichick was a key factor in his decision to leave the New England Patriots.
The documentary, 'The Dynasty: New England Patriots,' premieres on Apple TV+ and provides an in-depth look at the team's rise and fall, including insights from more than 25 players, coaches, and executives.
Brady sought a two-year contract worth $50 million after the 2019-2020 season, but the Patriots were unwilling to offer it, leading to his move to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
Former Patriots players describe the team's environment under Belichick as 'brutal,' with some comparing Brady's treatment to that of an abused animal.
The series also explores the Patriots' six Super Bowl victories and darker moments, including the murder conviction of Aaron Hernandez and league punishments for spying and deflated footballs.
