NFL players, fans react to Tom Brady leaving the Patriots

Tom Brady has taken the field as a Patriot for the final time.

After 20 seasons in New England, Tom Brady is looking for a new home. The six-time Super Bowl champion announced on Tuesday morning that his “football journey will take place elsewhere,” and thanked the Patriots organization and fans. Brady will become an unrestricted free agent on Wednesday, and for the first time since 2001, the Patriots will enter the season with a new No. 1 quarterback.

According to Ian Rapoport, both the Buccaneers and Chargers have made “strong offers” to Brady – and the 42-year-old may not have any other realistic options.

Players, analysts and fans all took to social media to pay tribute to Brady after an unparalleled run with the Patriots, and predict where he may land next.
