“Thank You Everybody for Welcoming Me”: Tom Brady Ends Four-Minute Presser With a Note of Gratitude and a Mysterious Bye-Bye

Tom Brady will be a free agent after the NFL wraps this season up. And speculations about his next course of action are already rife. And it’s like Brady himself is fanning the speculations as the Tampa Bay Buccaneers end their season. He ended his last presser of the season with a thank you note and some touch of mystery.

The Buccaneers crashed out of the ongoing postseason with a loss against the Dallas Cowboys. And this might be the last time the fans see the legendary QB as a Buc.

A touch of mystery from Tom Brady 

Tom Brady looked disappointed and dejected at Monday’s press conference. He had just ended his season on a sour note after months of personal and professional struggles. And he left a thank you note for the media.

“I just want to say thank you guys for everything this year. I really appreciate all your efforts. And I know it’s hard for you guys too,” Brady said in his thanks to the media.

But what he said after that really deepened the mystery around Brady’s next season. He continued what really seemed like a goodbye to the Buccaneers at least. 

“I love this organization. It’s a great place to be. Thank you everybody for welcoming me. Just very grateful for the respect and I hope I gave it back to you guys,” Brady said about the Buccaneers.

There are plenty of options open for the QB if he wants to return to action next season too. Actually, nobody really expects him to bow out without winning the Super Bowl. But the seven-time Super Bowl champion can be unpredictable at times. And teams like the Miami Dolphins and the Las Vegas Raiders could appeal to him. And if indeed it was his last game as a Buccaneer, here is an overview of his time in Tampa.

A hero wherever he goes

Tom Brady was the king of Boston when he left the New England Patriots to join the Buccaneers back in 2020. The legendary QB had already won six Super Bowl titles with the Foxborough outfit. And he came into a franchise that had last won the honors nearly two decades ago. Brady came in and turned their fortunes around immediately.

The legendary QB led the team to a Super Bowl victory at the end of his first season. And then he had two seasons of playoff agony with the team. Last year, the Buccaneers lost the divisional playoff game against the eventual champions Los Angeles Rams. And this year, they fell to the Cowboys at the wildcard hurdle.

For a team that struggled to remain relevant before he came in, Brady is certainly a hero. Then, he is a hero wherever he goes.
