Tom Brady announced his retirement on Tuesday morning, marking the end of an incredible career after 22 NFL seasons. Soon after he published his lengthy announcement to Instagram, fans and members of the media quickly noticed that the Patriots, with whom he spent his first 20 seasons and won six Super Bowls, didn't receive a single mention.
The Buccaneers, for whom Brady played from 2020–21 and won last year's Super Bowl, received about four full pages of thanks, along with shoutouts for trainer Alex Guerrero and agents Don Yee and Steve Dubin.
The snub didn't stop Pats owner Robert Kraft from congratulating Brady on his career. Shortly thereafter, Brady made sure to add a thank you to his former franchise on his Twitter and Instagram accounts.
