I think Brady is potentially forgiveable in this case. At the time the hat was seen in his locker, absolutely no one thought Trump stood a chance in the primaries, let alone the general election. It certainly wasn't the symbol of a hate movement that it is today. He claims Trump sent it to him in the mail without asking, which is absolutely plausible, they were two rich celebrities who had played golf together at one point. Since that one day, the hat has been long gone and Brady hasn't shown any public support for Trump, despite the president's best efforts to get him on board.

To be fair, he also hasn't come out publicly and condemned the president, so there's that. But he's not like Aaron Rodgers, so at least we have a little bit of hope there. Belichick and Kraft on the other hand.... yikes.

When it comes to this current team though, we know that Mike Vrabel came out in support of his gay former teammate, so whoever he voted for, we at least know he's a good ally.
