Tom Brady speaks for first time, but doesn’t say much

Tom Brady spoke publicly today for the first time since the Super Bowl loss to Philadelphia, but danced around virtually every question that has been raised by his absence from the Patriots this offseason.

Tom Brady didn't put much to bed in that brief press conference Wouldn't commit to being here next week, wouldn't talk about his contract and wouldn't delve into reasons for staying away from OTAs

Asked Brady what changed from years past and how he's previously valued OTAs, "it's obviously imp for everybody and our coaches do a great job getting us ready but just some personal reasons for me that...but I'm here now, focused on what I need to do, as I always am."

Brady did not say whether or not he’d be coming back for the remainder of the practices remaining on the team’s spring schedule. Said he wanted to focus on the rest of the day today. Five more voluntary OTA workouts scheduled.
