Look: Kraft, Patriots thank Brady with full-page ad in Tampa paper

The New England Patriots bought a full-page ad for Tom Brady in the Sunday edition of the Tampa Bay Times, thanking him for his 20-year run with the club.

Brady signed with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in free agency, taking him to the second team of his storied career.

The text reads:

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 imagine all you'd accomplish or how much you'd soon mean to an entire region. You now leave New England after two decades of dominance as the GOAT and forever a part of our family.

Your passion for the game, competitiveness and constant pursuit of excellence resulted in an unprecedented six Super Bowl victories, nine conference championships and 17 division titles. You're now recognized as the greatest of all time for what you've accomplished on the field, but you're an even better person. Thank you, Tom, for your countless contributions to the New England Patriots, and we wish you and your beautiful family continued success. There will never be another Tom Brady.

To the Buccaneers fans and the Tamp Bay community - take care of him. You got a great one.

With much love and appreciation,
The Kraft Family and the New England Patriots
