Obviously, the main takeaway here is that Brady is returning to New England.
In 20 seasons with the Patriots, Brady had 74,571 yards and 541 touchdowns. More importantly, he won six Super Bowls with Bill Belichick.
After Brady left the Patriots for the Buccaneers in 2020, it felt as if his relationship with the team that drafted him took a huge hit. Clearly, the two sides straightened things out.
It’s safe to say Brady will receive a standing ovation when he returns to Gillette Stadium this upcoming season.
