NFL World Reacts to Tom Brady's Departure From the New England Patriots

Practice against Tom Brady everyday was like playing on the 92’ Dream Team. He brought that much intensity to the practice field. Which ever team he lands I’m sure he will continue his legacy of playing a great brand of football. #TB12 pic.twitter.com/Y6tKUOapIk

For months, Tom Brady has been plotting his departure from New England. But to announce it on St. Patrick’s Day when every bar in Boston is closed? Ice cold.

Tom Brady’s last play as a Patriot...was a pick six in a playoff game that sealed the loss. Unreal

My brain can’t compute the Tom Brady news. I am broken inside and refuse to believe this is real.

The Patriots love a underpriced veteran value pickup and there's a big one in free agency at a positon of need: they should strongly look at Tom Brady.

Fact: @TomBrady gave more to the @Patriots than any single player has ever given another NFL organization. Don’t cry because it’s over. Smile because it happened.

Guys from Massachusetts have long dreaded this day: they have to develop a personality outside of "Tom Brady fan"

Remember how elated you were when your favorite team caught lightning in a bottle for that one game, or for that playoff run leading up to a big win?

Now imagine having that same feeling last for 2 decades. That's what it was like watching Tom Brady on the Patriots.

Thank you for everything Tom Brady. You have filled my life and Pats fans around the world with happiness, joy and the best football we will ever see. I have been cheering for you since I was 5 and will never stop. It is going to be very strange seeing you in not a Pats uniform pic.twitter.com/jhNmTEt4og
