The New England Patriots' trade of Jamie Collins to the Cleveland Browns came as a surprise, yet it is the way Bill Belichick has always operated.

Tom Brady admitted to being surprised about the trade but he also realizes even he isn't immune from that kind of treatment.

“Yeah, absolutely,” Brady said when asked if he could see the same thing happening to him. “You can’t be around this long and not realize that the world will keep spinning and the sun will come up tomorrow without you. That’s just the way it goes. I think you enjoy the experiences that you have and also understand it just keeps going on.

“It could happen to anybody. You just have to show up to work, do the best you can do every day and let your performance just try to speak for itself.”
