Maybe but the Patriot pattern has always been to cut someone even when they look their best. That player might have another good year, possibly two, but most players decline after getting cut by the Pats.
They should have kept both through the season and then Kraft sits down with Brady and tells him to retire on a high note and not with everyone remarking that he has no arm strength, a la Manning, And offer him a front office job. Then they start next year with Garropolo. That is far more consistent with their practice since Bill has been there. Brady and Kraft, though, appear to be good friends and that makes such decisions hard.
