The legacy of Tom Brady that he created in New England remains untouched. Despite shifting his base to Tampa Bay, fans called him a Patriot because of his exemplary performance over two decades in the franchise. Meanwhile, the veteran recently announced retirement following an unsuccessful campaign with the Buccaneers. Although it has happened for the second time in his career, the Patriots owner Robert Kraft doesn’t want to let him go easily.
The 81-year-old businessman was determined to bring the Seven-time Super Bowl Champion back to the Patriots. While speaking in a recent interaction with CNN This Morning’s Don Lemon and Poppy Harlow, Kraft vowed to traverse every possible path to sign him again.

“He is, always has been, and always will be a Patriot,” Kraft said in the interview, per The People. “And we will be bringing him back after — I have not — I don’t like to make a commitment for him, but we will do everything in our power to bring him back, have him sign off as a Patriot —” he added.
These comments instantly spread like Wildfire on social media. Netizens seemed quite excited by his statements, and few of them even asked the Patriots owner to stop encouraging him; otherwise, Brady might play for one more season.

“He should retire a Patriot,” said one of the fans. “Don’t encourage him, he’ll end up paying one more year” said another fan.
“Brady liked the post”, “He should go back one more year”, and “Hey Bob, sell him a part of the franchise” were some of the reactions from the netizens.
The 45-year-old’s arrival into the NFL happened in a dramatic way. Who could have imagined that a 199th pick could make so much impact in the history of the league? All credits to Bill Belichick, who took the bet on a Michigan product, and Kraft nodded to make that happen.

Although Brady’s career records outshine any other athlete in NFL history, his departure from the league happened with a disappointment. Getting knocked out by the Cowboys in the postseason became an added embarrassment.
Hence Kraft believes that Brady deserves to go big and wrap up his career on a high note. “You know, there are certain decisions in life that I always believe in giving counsel and trying to be supportive, but only an individual on his own can make a decision like that,” Kraft explained in the interview.
