Tom Brady is Leaving the New England Patriots
According to TMZ -
"Tom Brady is making it official ... he's leaving the New England Patriots after 20 seasons (and 6 Super Bowl rings) and continuing his NFL career in another city.
TB12 posted a long thank you message to Patriots Nation on Tuesday morning explaining he will always cherish the memories ... but it's time to leave.
"I wanted to say thank you to all of the incredible fans and Patriots supporters. MA has been my home for twenty years," Brady wrote.
"It has truly been the happiest two decades I could have envisioned in my life and I have nothing but love and gratitude for my time in New England."
He continued, "The support has been overwhelming - I wish every play could experience it. My children were born and raised here and you always embraced this California kid as your own. I love your commitment and loyalty to your teams and winning for our city means more than you will ever know. I can't thank you enough for the support of our team. The packed training camps and sold out stadiums and mostly the victory parades. I have been so blessed to share them with you all. I tried to represent us always in the best and most honorable way, and I fought hard with my teammates to help bring victory and triumph even in the most dire situations."
"You opened your heart to me, and I opened my heart to you. And Pats Nation will always be a part of me."
"I don't know what my football future holds but it is time for me to open a new stage for my life and career."
"I thank you from the bottom of my heart and I will always love you and what we have shared - a lifetime full of fun memories."
So, what's next for the 42-year-old quarterback?
He's reportedly being pursued by the Tampa Bay Bucs, Las Vegas Raiders, L.A. Chargers and others."
