Tom Brady trolls Aaron Rodgers and Patrick Mahomes before The Match

Tom Brady trolled Patrick Mahomes and even his partner, Aaron Rodgers, ahead of The Match on June 1.
The 2022 NFL season is a few months away, and fans who are looking to fill the void can do so by watching the latest edition of The Match. Tom Brady and Aaron Rodgers are teaming up to take on young quarterbacks Patrick Mahomes and Josh Allen in a golf competition on June 1.
Ahead of The Match, both teams competed in a chip-in challenge. Brady, ever the troll, decided to throw some shade at Mahomes and even his own teammate for losing their top wide receivers.

Brady did point out that he still had his top pass-catcher in Mike Evans. But he did joke with Allen, saying “someone’s going to leave you too.” That was when Allen hugged the cardboard cut out of receiver Stefon Diggs.
Of course, Brady is referring to the Green Bay Packers and Kansas City Chiefs trading Davante Adams and Tyreek Hill, respectively.
Adams was traded to the Las Vegas Raiders in exchange for 2022 first- and second-round draft picks and immediately agreed to a lucrative five-year, $140 million contract. The move to Raiders was interesting because Adams now gets to reunite with his quarterback from Fresno State, Derek Carr.
Meanwhile, the Chiefs’ contract negotiations with Hill never progressed, leading the team to take trade calls. They ultimately traded Hill to the Miami Dolphins in exchange for five draft picks. Hill then received a four-year, $120 million contract extension with his new team.
Rodgers and Mahomes did get some new receivers. Green Bay signed veteran Sammy Watkins and selected Christian Watson out of North Dakota State with their second-round pick. Kansas City signed JuJu Smith-Schuster and drafted Skyy Moore out of Western Michigan.
