The Patriots didn't have a pick in the first round of the 2016 NFL Draft due to their 'Deflategate' punishment, so the team sent a message to Roger Goodell and the NFL via Instagram last night.

They changed their Instagram avatar to a photo of Brady's jersey and posted that same photo on the social media site.

 

They were showing support for Brady and possibly saying to the NFL and Goodell that even though they have no pick in the first round, they'll be just fine because they were able to draft the greatest quarterback to ever play the game in the 6th round.

Maybe I'm reading too much into this, but a great move by the Pats regardless.

FREE BRADY!
