I don't know much about the author, but from the Saints forum and Twitter, he seems to carry as much cred as Ian Rapoport. That's a bad thing.

Who knows how much is true and how much isnt, but this is only an in depth look at what has been bubbling just below the surface all season.
IIRC it was November when there was a report from somewhere other than ESPN that stated the Pats/Belichick were contemplating moving Brady after this season....shortly after that Garoppolo was dealt and the feeling it was Kraft protecting Brady by doing so.
It really is insane what they dealt him for and points to someone meddling somewhere. BB would never have signed off on that return based on his trading histiry, unless his hand was forced.
I can see this coming to a head in NE. BB knows that Brady's tenure is closing, and as such if he wants to keep coaching and winning, he needs to transition soon. TB likely has no desire to be part of that, and that's entirely understandable.
One thing is for sure, TB hasn't looked like himself at times this year although he has been tremendous at others.
