While the campaign itself sparkled with elegance, it was Edelman's cheeky caption that stole the spotlight, proving that even in tailored suits, the old jokes still linger.
"Playing on the field. Sorry, Tom Brady," he wrote.
Whether it's Gronk mocking Brady's transition into broadcasting or Edelman roasting his old teammate's social media selfies, there's an unmistakable undertone of love and loyalty behind the jabs.
Gronkowski's blunt comments about Brady's on-air performance might've sounded harsh to outsiders, but longtime fans know this is how these three legends motivate one another.
Gronk has often said Brady thrives under pressure and sometimes, that pressure comes from those closest to him. Edelman, no stranger to Brady's intensity, joined in the teasing, echoing that Brady performs best when he's got a chip on his shoulder.
There's also an element of role reversal at play. For years, Brady was the commanding leader, pushing Gronk and Edelman to be their best, even if it meant being brutally honest.
Now, off the field, the tables have turned. The younger duo is playfully challenging the GOAT in his new ventures, showing that respect among champions doesn't always come with a straight face.
At its core, this isn't betrayal, it's brotherhood. Gronk and Edelman haven't turned on Brady, they're cheering him on in their own mischievous way.

Preity Zinta's Jersey Surprise For Cheering Fans Feels Like A Match-Winning Six
Last Updated: Preity Zinta is one of the co-owners of the Indian Premier League cricket team Punjab Kings alongside Mohit Burman, Ness Wadia and Karan Paul. When it comes to winning hearts off the field, Preity Zinta is clearly an all-rounder. The actress, who is one of the co-owners of the Indian Premier League (IPL) cricket team Punjab Kings alongside Mohit Burman, Ness Wadia and Karan Paul, recently gave her fans a moment they won't forget. During one of the team's matches, Preity surprised the crowd by personally distributing the team's jerseys to the fans cheering for Punjab Kings at the stadium. A video of the event shows Preity tossing the jerseys towards the fans on every side to make sure no one misses out on grabbing one. Before she left, Preity sealed the moment with a sweet flying kiss to her fans. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Viral Bhayani (@viralbhayani) Though she was busy spreading joy in the stands, Preity didn't hold back when it came to speaking up for her team after a loss. Punjab Kings faced Delhi Capitals but lost the game by six wickets which brought a big blow to their chances of qualifying in the top two. The defeat came after a controversial decision by the third umpire that went against Punjab Kings. The moment came in the 15th over of Punjab Kings' innings. On the last ball, Shashank Singh hit a powerful shot that went over the boundary which looked like a six. The crowd and players seemed convinced it was a clear maximum. Moreover, Karun Nair, who was fielding right near the boundary rope, signalled that the ball had crossed the fence after trying to stop it. But when the third umpire reviewed the footage, he found no clear evidence that Nair's foot had touched or crossed the boundary line during his catch attempt. Due to this, the shot was not counted as a six. Instead, Punjab Kings were awarded just a single run. Replying to a fan's tweet on X, Preity revealed that she had spoken to Karun Nair who said that the ball had clearly crossed the boundary fence. 'In such a high profile tournament with so much technology at the Third Umpire's disposal such mistakes are unacceptable & simply shouldn't happen. I spoke To Karun after the game & he confirmed it was DEFINITELY a 6 ! I rest my case ! #PBKSvsDC #IPL2025," she wrote.
