In a two-part Instagram post, quarterback Tom Brady has apparently moved on from the New England Patriots, the only team he’s played for during his 20-year professional career.
Brady thanked Patriot fans and various people within the organization, including head coach Bill Belichick and owner Robert Kraft. The 42-year-old quarterback also captioned the first post “FOREVER A PATRIOT” and the other “LOVE YOU PATS NATION.”

If the posts were indeed an indication Brady has decided not to return to New England, the market for his services has become much clearer in the last 48 hours. With the Titans, Cowboys, Vikings, and Saints all agreeing to terms to bring back their incumbent quarterback in 2020.
For their part, the Patriots released a statement via social media, which was followed by a number of posts thanking Brady.

Unless circumstances change, it looks like with the Patriots out of the picture, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers or Los Angeles Chargers should be considered the two most likely next stop for Brady.
Brady is a certain Hall of Famer. a six-time Super Bowl champion, and three-time league MVP.
In total, Brady has thrown for 74,571 yards and 541 touchdowns against 179 career interceptions. With him as a starting quarterback, the Patriots have had a 219-64 regular-season record.
