There were a lot of emotions following the trade of Rob Gronkowski from the Patriots to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
New England fans were upset. Some felt slighted and others were just disappointed that one of the greatest players in franchise history was leaving for another team. Around the league, other fans were jovial to see the Patriots lose yet another piece from their dynastic run. Buccaneers fans were excited to bring in a Hall of Fame tight end for the low price of only a fourth-round pick to add to their already deep offensive arsenal.
However, the guy who might have been the happiest was Gronkowski’s quarterback, Tom Brady.
After the trade, the NFL’s Instagram account put up one of Patriots fans’ favorite videos, originally posted by Brady. The video depicts the quarterback and tight end celebrating their AFC Championship win over the Chiefs on their way to a Super Bowl 53 win. The post features rapper P. Diddy’s song “Bad Boys for Life,” with the lyrics “We ain’t goin’ nowhere. We ain’t.. goin’ nowhere. We can’t be stopped.”

Brady commented on the NFL’s post, saying “run it back,” addressing that he and Gronkowski can be successful together again. He then shared the video on his Instagram story with a GIF depicting an excited Jonah Hill from the movie “Get Him to the Greek.”

The 42-year-old quarterback has a lot to be excited about. He’s on a new team with two 1,000-yard receivers, two starting-caliber tight ends, the 14th pick in the draft, a coach who understands the importance of family, $50 million, and a team that’s committed to him for multiple years.
Everything’s turning up Brady right now.
