Kraft family thanks QB Tom Brady in full-age ad in Tampa Bay Times

New England Patriots owner Robert Kraft and his family took out a full-page ad to thank QB Tom Brady for his time as a Patriot.

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers and their fans are celebrating the signing of quarterback Tom Brady. But one team’s gain is another team’s loss, and Brady’s addition to the Bucs means Patriots fans are left searching for a new quarterback to call their own.

Brady’s legacy will forever be tied to New England. From sixth-round pick to six-time Super Bowl champion, he lived a Cinderella story that sounds almost too cliche to be real. Game-winning drives, clutch throws, Lombardi Trophies — Brady did it all.

Today, in Sunday’s Tampa Bay Times, Patriots owner Robert Kraft and his family took out a full-page ad, thanking the G.O.A.T. for all the memories.

Here is an excerpt:

“For 20 amazing years, you gave us everything you had… When you arrived as a sixth-round pick — and the best selection this franchise has ever made — no one imagined all you’d accomplish or how much you’d soon mean to an entire region.”

Kraft also asks Bucs fans to “take care of him. You got a great one.”

I think Tampa Bay fans are up to the task.
