The end of a legendary era for a true champion on & off the field. Teammate, fan, coach, or a part of ownership, we all appreciate everything you’ve done for Pats Nation. You’re the definition of a TRUE PATRIOT. Good luck in the next chapter of your career. Love you brotha! pic.twitter.com/0jpPiPgKbC

Practice against Tom Brady everyday was like playing on the 92’ Dream Team. He brought that much intensity to the practice field. Which ever team he lands I’m sure he will continue his legacy of playing a great brand of football. #TB12 pic.twitter.com/Y6tKUOapIk

Best of luck wherever your football journey takes you next — unless it's in the AFC West. 😉 https://t.co/uKw0wzCewV pic.twitter.com/gU3aJAGiRk
With all that’s going on in the world today. Two very important things:

1. Stay safe and practice social distancing.
2. Stay out of the AFC East, TOM BRADY. 😲🤣 @TheBillsMafia
. @TomBrady to the @Chargers and he talks them into going back to San Diego. ✅
