Robert Kraft and family thank Tom Brady for ’20 amazing years'

Robert Kraft and his family have to say goodbye to Tom Brady like the rest of New England. Even though none of us want to or are ready.

Kraft bought a full-page ad in the Tampa Bay Times, thanking the former Patriots quarterback for his “20 amazing years,” six Super Bowl rings, and countless memories.

“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 wrote.

“You now leave New England after two decades of dominance as the GOAT and forever a part of our family.”

Brady announced last week that he was moving on from New England to sign with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
