Report: Tom Brady leaving Patriots for Buccaneers

We’ve seen Joe Montana play for the Chiefs. We’ve seen Emmitt Smith play for the Cardinals. We’ve seen Brett Favre play for the Jets and Vikings. We’ve even seen Peyton Manning play for the Broncos. But we have never seen a day in NFL Free Agency quite like this one.

Tom Brady is breaking up the New England Patriots dynasty to join the Tampa Bay Buccaneers as first reported by Ian Rapoport of the NFL Network.

The league’s all-time winningest quarterback announced this morning he was going to leave the only franchise he’s ever known and will be doing so in principle for $30 million per year.

During his 20 seasons in New England, Brady led the Pats to nine Super Bowls and the four-time Super Bowl MVP won six of them.

Overall, TB12 won three league MVPs, was named All-Pro five times, and made 14 trips to the Pro Bowl all while leading the Patriots to 17 AFC East titles.

Brady trails only Drew Brees in all-time passing yards and touchdowns.
