In his own words, Tom Brady has retired from the National Football League, this time for good. The all-time great has always been a master of his narrative, so seeing the GOAT quarterback leave the stage on his own terms was refreshing. So now that Brady has called it a day, one more question is on the lips of NFL fans and followers: will he retire as a New England Patriot?

Well, if there's one thing we are sure of, there's a greater possibility that the Michigan State University alum will retire as a Patriot compared to last year. The reason being that then it seemed as though Brady was at odds with Bill Belichick and, by extension, the New England Patriots franchise. He even left them out of last year's emotional retirement message, causing a stir.

However, like they say, time heals wounds, and it looks like Brady and the first franchise he was a part of are on solid terms once again. There's nothing that Patriots' owner, Robert Kraft, would want more than his golden child to retire as a Patriot. Let's see how it goes.


How did Tom Brady Perform as a New England Patriot?

Tom Brady was the number one and most consistent piece in on the Patriots. He was drafted as an afterthought in the 2000 NFL draft, where he went off the board in the sixth round.
