In hindsight, this might seem like a joke, but Tom Brady is likely very serious.
After news broke that Julian Edelman’s career in New England and he was retiring, social media users immediately put him in the arms of Tampa Bay.
Now, Brady himself is jumping in on the fun.
It all began when Edelman reacted to the NFL’s rule change for jersey numbers by suggesting that Brady switch from “12” to the symbol for pi.
“12 is so 2001, pi is eternal, just like you buddy,” Edelman wrote.
Brady responded on Friday, saying, “Now that you are a free agent @edelman11, are you buttering me up?”

“Isn’t that a problem on the @Tb12 method?,” Edelman replied.
“I’m avocado oiling you up bubs,” Edelman joked.
The duo of Brady and Edelman have won three Super Bowls together.
“How many years [will people speculate]? I don’t know,” Edelman said earlier this week on Pardon My take. “Honestly, probably as long as he’s playing.”
Edelman, who turns 35 in May, spent his entire 12-year career with the Patriots, playing alongside Brady.
