How Boston sports figures reacted to Tom Brady’s announcement
"Stay happy and healthy in your next chapter."
Sorry New England, Tom Brady is gone.
The former Patriots quarterback officially announced via social media on Tuesday that he will be leaving the organization and will take his talents “elsewhere”. For the past 20 seasons, Patriots fans witnessed Brady win six Super Bowl championships and evolve into one of the greatest quarterbacks of all-time.
He was also an inspiration to many sports figures — especially in New England. Here is how Boston sports figures are reacting to the news:

Will Middlebrooks:
Tough start to the year for Boston sports fans… Generational superstar in Mookie traded away… now the best QB of all time not returning to Foxboro. Bostonians always find a way to bounce back though.
