Tom Brady made the rounds for multiple reasons in the offseason. First, everybody talked about his retirement, then it was all about his comeback.

But perhaps the most interesting report about one of the greatest QBs ever was that about the Miami Dolphins openly tampering to get him and Sean Payton before all the Brian Flores debacle.

That has to be awkward if you're Tua Tagovailoa, especially now that they're conducting joint practices with the Buccaneers.

When asked about him, the Alabama product simply said, "Yeah, I mean, I'm still here. To me, that's all noise at this point." But then he elaborated and admitted his frustration over this never-ending story:

Tua doesn't want to go through all this anymore, as he's done being politically correct about potentially being benched by Brady:

Dolphins HC Mike McDaniel is done with this subject as well. He claims it doesn't have to be awkward to practice together, and the only ones making it a story are those who insist in fueling controversy:

Tua is on thin ice right now. The Dolphins went to great lengths to put him in a position to succeed as he enters his third season in the league, and he's been far from the two-way phenom he was during his days in Alabama.

So, we already know the Dolphins' ties to Brady and they'll likely keep tabs on him during another potential farewell season. That's a lot of pressure to deal with for Tua and the Dolphins.
