The biggest move of the NFL offseason is here.

After 20 seasons with the New England Patriots, Brady is leaving Foxboro for the first time in his career and is expected to sign with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, according to ESPN’s Adam Schefter.

Brady announced to Patriots fans on Tuesday that his time in New England was over, thanking the organization for their support over the years.

"Although my football journey will take place elsewhere, I appreciate everything that we have achieved and am grateful for our incredible TEAM accomplishments," Brady wrote.

Brady said the Patriots allowed him to "maximize" his potential, saying, "I have benefited from you all."

After so many years with New England, the sight of Brady in a Buccaneers jersey - even a photoshopped one - is jaw-dropping.

In Tampa Bay, Brady will be aligned with head coach Bruce Arians, and have a slew of talented skill position players at his disposal.

Wide receivers Mike Evans and Chris Godwin make up one of the most fearsome tandems in the NFL. Along with tight ends O.J. Howard and Cameron Brate and running back Ronald Jones, the group should be a must-watch offense in the 2020 season.

The Buccaneers had some offensive success in 2019. Quarterback Jameis Winston actually led the NFL in passing with 5,109 yards to go along with an impressive 33 touchdowns. But he was hamstrung by his tendency to turn the ball over, throwing 30 interceptions on the season. That's nine more than Baker Mayfield, 10 more than Philip Rivers, and 14 more than any other quarterback in the NFL.

While Brady might not have the cannon arm that Winston has, he has a knack for taking care of the ball, and that might be enough for Tampa Bay to prosper.
