Twitter explodes after Tom Brady’s posts regarding his future

How Twitter reacted to the Tom Brady news.

It appears that the franchise quarterback in New England is headed to finish his career with another team. Tom Brady took to Twitter to speak to fans and the organization about his future in football. In these messages, the quarterback showed a lot of love and respect for the staff, coaches, ownership, teammates, and fans of the New England Patriots. Ultimately, however, his football career will “continue elsewhere.”

In his 20 years with the Patriots, Brady helped win six Super Bowls, more than any other player in NFL history. He threw for 74,571 yards (second all-time) and 541 touchdowns (second all-time). Nobody expected all of this success to come from a sixth-round draft pick who was the seventh quarterback selected in the 2000 NFL draft.

For a large chunk of New England, Brady is all that they’ve ever known. Any player that is with a team for multiple decades will be shown appreciation. But what Brady did was special, and it will likely never be replicated.

When fans and reporters found out the news Tuesday morning, here’s how they reacted:

Oh, and here’s how fans of other teams reacted:
