Tom Brady announced via Twitter<\/a> Tuesday morning he wouldn’t be returning to the New England Patriots. His next team is unknown at this point.<\/p>\n Robert Kraft and Bill Belichick were quick to issue heartfelt statements<\/a>. Obviously Patriots fans were quick to jump to Twitter to express their feelings, and sadness, regarding their hero finally taking off the Patriots red, white and blue.<\/p>\n But those weren’t the only reactions.<\/p>\n Julian Edelman took to Instagram to post a set of pictures of him and Brady with the caption “Family.”.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Family.<\/a><\/p>\n A post shared by Julian Edelman<\/a> (@edelman11) on Mar 17, 2020 at 8:49am PDT<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n There were also quite a few reactions from former and current Patriots players on Tom Brady’s two Instagram posts.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n FOREVER A PATRIOT<\/a><\/p>\n A post shared by Tom Brady<\/a> (@tombrady) on Mar 17, 2020 at 5:43am PDT<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n LOVE YOU PATS NATION<\/a><\/p>\n A post shared by Tom Brady<\/a> (@tombrady) on Mar 17, 2020 at 5:45am PDT<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n “Don’t worry about anything but you and your family boss!” Patrick Chung commented. “It’s been a pleasure man.
