Ever since ESPN's Seth Wickersham reported in January that there was tension between New England Patriots owner Robert Kraft, head coach Bill Belichick and quarterback Tom Brady, NFL fans have been bracing themselves for the inevitable breakup of the dynasty.

Since the end of last season, multiple reports out of Boston have suggested that the rift inside the organization has not been solved. The Patriots are off to a frustrating 1-2 start, and even fans watching from their living rooms can probably notice the tension from Brady and others on the sidelines.

However, Mr. Kraft continues to deny any rumors that he and Brady are at odds with Belichick. Appearing on CNBC (h/t ESPN's Daren Rovell), Kraft accused the reported rift stemming from jealousy.

"Envy and jealousy are incurable diseases and you'd rather be a recipient than a donor," Kraft said.

The report from Wickersham suggested that the tension began to rise when Belichick said he wanted to move forward with Jimmy Garoppolo, not believing that Brady would be able to play well into his 40s.

Brady apparently went to Kraft, who forced Belichick to trade Garoppolo to the San Francisco 49ers for a mere return of a second-round pick. That reportedly enraged Belichick, and his relationship with the owner and legendary Brady has seemingly only grown more sour.

There was also speculation that Belichick was going to leave the Patriots after the 2017 season, but he opted to stick around after their Super Bowl 52 loss to the Philadelphia Eagles. Brady has maintained that he wants to play into his mid-40s, and it's now clear that Kraft would not want to move on from TB12.

That means if the Patriots dynasty is to break up, Belichick would likely have to retire or find another coaching job elsewhere. For now, the band is still together, trying to capture one more Super Bowl before the inevitable breakup.
