Tom Brady has cryptically responded to New England Patriots owner Robert Kraft confirming that the franchise will honour their former quarterback at their opening home game.
Brady, 45, retired from football on February 1 after three seasons on the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, where he won a seventh Super Bowl in his first year. The previous six all came with the Pats across his first 20 seasons in the league.
Kraft, 81, announced the plans on Thursday morning before the NFL released the full schedule for the upcoming season later that evening. The Philadelphia Eagles will visit Gillette Stadium in Week One on September 10. The Miami Dolphins also travel there eight days later to start the season.
