Brady’s final respectfully written message is addressed to the entire New England Patriots family, including owner Robert Kraft and his family, general manager and head coach Bill Belichick and the entire football organization and its fans.
The first thing that’s obvious when reading the Tweet is that Brady talks in past tense to start out with, so it becomes clear early on that this is his final farewell, and that proves to be true when towards the end he includes this fateful sentence:
“Although my football journey will take place elsewhere, I appreciate everything that we have achieved and am grateful for our incredible TEAM accomplishments.”
