With the Tom Brady Buccaneers move, the long, drawn-out free agency saga revolving around the six-time Super Bowl champion has finally come to an end. Ever since the Patriots crashed out of the playoffs to the Tennessee Titans, there were rumours that Tom Brady would be angling for an exit after pining for the Patriots to add some quality personnel in offence. While that didn't pan out in New England, Tom Brady then sparked rumours of free agency with a couple of cryptic posts on social media. 

A move to the Las Vegas Raiders was then mooted. That, however, did not pan out for the most accomplished quarterback in the history of the NFL. Tom Brady now joins the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, where he will have the opportunity to play alongside a quality offence. As a result of the Tom Brady Buccaneers move, the Patriots and Tom Brady will now face each other in the upcoming NFL season for the first time since Brady was drafted in the year 2000.

Excited, humble and hungry ...if there is one thing I have learned about football, it’s that nobody cares what you did last year or the year before that...you earn the trust and respect of those around through your commitment every single day. I’m starting a new football journey and thankful for the @buccaneers for giving me an opportunity to do what I love to do. I look forward to meeting all my new teammates and coaches and proving to them that they can believe and trust in me...I have always believed that well done is better than well said, so I’m not gonna say much more - I’m just gonna get to work! #Year1 p.s. Jack Brady with the photocred 😀
