Tom Brady hits out at Daniel Jones as NFL legend gives damning verdict on quarterback's Giants exit

Tom Brady has taken a swipe at Daniel Jones over his New York Giants exit after admitting he would not have asked to be released from a team that 'committed a lot to you'.

Jones left the Giants last week after approaching owner John Mara and asking to be released from his contract, a request which was swiftly accepted.

'I don't know how the whole situation went down, but to think that you would ask to be released from a team that committed a lot to you is maybe different than I would have handled that,' Brady said.

'I always felt I wanted to get the trust and respect of my teammates regardless of the situation, knowing that I was trying to be the best that I could for the team because that was the most important thing.'

The seven-time Super Bowl winner went on to add: 'There's just some different things that happen in the NFL, and everyone makes individual choices.

'I think we all at different points in our career face different challenges. I faced them in college and some things didn't go the way I wanted, but the people that mattered most to me were the guys in the locker room. 

'I showed up every day. I don't care if they asked me to be scout team safety [or] be scout team quarterback... I was gonna do whatever I can to help the team win.'
