Longtime Patriots QB Tom Brady announced Tuesday that he will not return to the team for the 2020 season.

Brady, who is a free agent, made the announcement on Twitter.

"Although my football journey will take place elsewhere, I appreciate everything that we have achieved and am grateful for our incredible TEAM accomplishments," Brady said in an open letter to the Patriots organization.

As a free agent, Brady is free to sign with any team. The NFL's free agency opened on Monday. According to Ian Rapoport with NFL Network, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and the Los Angeles Chargers have both offered Brady contracts.

Cody Kessler and Jarrett Stidham are the two quarterbacks currently on the Patriots' roster.

1. reminds me of Willie Mays and Joe Namath

who finished their careers with other teams that they had played for most of their career

[RockRaven]

2. Or the local star when/where Brady was growing up, Joe Montana.

It will be interesting, whichever of those 2 candidate teams he chooses.

3. I think he's headed to the Titans. Nt

5. They just signed Tannehill to a large contract

with guarantees. Titans are off the table.

4. Does that mean the Pats will cheat more, or cheat less?

6. It means his deflated balls will sit elsewhere.

Deion Sanders and Bo Jackson played football and baseball. Can Brady join the Astros?

7. Tampa ...

Gonna get a suntan..

8. $50 million guaranteed, plus incentives up to $9 million

Well, they'll some tickets. I don't think it's a good move. Brady is a two year rental. That's playing time a young QB needs to develop. Its possible some of Brady's magic could rub off on the backup. But I sense disaster.
