Patriots fans can now calm down.
Tom Brady appeared to leave the New England Patriots out of his initial statement announcing he was going to walk away from the NFL after 22 seasons and seven Super Bowl titles. He spent most of his 22 seasons with New England after he was drafted by the Patriots with the 199th pick of the 2000 draft.
“To all the Bucs fans, thank you. I didn’t know what to expect when I arrived here, but your support and embrace have enriched my life and that of my family. I have been honored to play for such a passionate and fun fan base. What a Krewe!!!
“To the City of Tampa and the entire Tampa-St. Petersburg region, thank you. It has been wonderful to be a resident of such a fun place to live. I want to be invited to our next boat parade!
“To the Glazer family, thank you for taking a chance on me and supporting me. I know I was demanding at times but you provided everything we needed to win, and your ownership was everything a player could ask for.”
Hours later, he would drop a statement thanking the Patriots.
