Tom Brady signing with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers sent the sporting world and the Foxboro faithful into a frenzy with the end of an era.
The former sixth-round selection put the Patriots on an unprecedented run and the team wanted to make sure they thanked Brady in every way possible.
The @Patriots took out a full-page ad in today’s @TB_Times honoring and thanking @TomBrady
“To the Buccaneers fans and Tampa Bay community — take care of him. You got a great one.”
Classy gesture. #GOAT pic.twitter.com/r6VeBN7etG

Even with his departure, fans like Christine Chrzanowski will always remember Brady in red, white and blue.
“Tom gave us the best 20 years, ever, in Patriots history,” Chrzanowski said. “I just wish that he retired as a Patriot. Like Montana will always be remembered as a Niner, Tommy will always be remembered as a Patriot.”
Fan Chris Cote felt a few emotions when it all unfolded, but quickly became enthused as to how Brady can do without his first and only head coach.
“At first I was sad and mad when the news was announced that Brady would not be returning. Those feelings were quickly replaced with excitement,” Cote said. “I am excited to see what Brady can do with out Bill Belichick and the Patriots organization that made him so famous. I’m excited to see what Brady can do with weapons in Evans and Godwin. I cannot wait to see what this season brings.”
