Tom Brady’s Dad Weighs In On His Son Leaving New England and Re-Locating to Tampa Bay : “That was our home for 20 years. The fans embraced Tommy, the city embraced Tommy”

Tom Brady shocked the world in 2020. After winning 6 Super Bowl titles and playing under Bill Belichick for almost 20 years, he suddenly announced a move. Before the 2020 season kicked off, Brady jumped ship from the New England Patriots to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. We all know how that worked out for the legendary quarterback. 

Tom Brady Sr. opened up about his son’s move to Florida. He felt like his son made the right choice, and he couldn’t be more proud. Tom was a welcome addition to Tampa Bay. And after he won his seventh Super Bowl title, the football fans also realized that it was the right decision. 

Tom Brady moving to Tampa

Back in September 21, 2021, the father of Tom Brady spoke with Tom Curran on his “Patriots Talk” podcast. When the host asked Brady Sr. about his son relocating to Tampa, he said, “That was our home for 20 years.” older Brady adds, “The fans embraced Tommy, the city embraced Tommy, and the team embraced Tommy for a while.”

Brady’s dad explained that Tom is extraordinarily appreciative of everything that happened during his time in New England. But Brady was more than happy that he moved on because the Patriots’ regime felt it was time for him to move on. 

Senior Brady then went on to compare this situation with kids. How when kids get older, they move on in life. The kids move out of the house and go elsewhere to make a living. That is how the situation was with the quarterback. With times changing, Brady felt like he had to make a change as well. Brady Sr. said, “Tommy’s no different than the rest of us.”

Brady finds success away from New England

Tom Brady joined the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in 2020. His best friend and tight end Rob Gronkowski also followed the quarterback to Florida. Many fans doubted the move at first, but the duo felt rejuvenated. They found success all throughout the 2020 season. Brady led the Buccaneers to the Super Bowl and claimed his seventh ring. 

Currently, Brady is enjoying retirement. The GOAT announced earlier this year that he will be stepping off the field to spend some time with his family. Brady is still located in Florida with his wife, Gisele Bündchen, and their two kids, Benjamin and Vivian. Tom is also the father to his son Jack which he had with ex Bridget Moynahan.
