Robert Kraft is one of many people who have gotten used to watching Tom Brady in the Super Bowl wins and in the Foxborough playoffs.
The owner of the New England Patriots achieved six Super Bowl victories with Brady in charge and there was a connection formed between them over two decades. He didn’t want to see Brady leave the organization last season, but he also did nothing to force the 43-year-old to stay.
Moving forward to the present, the Patriots are coming out of a 7-9 season and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers are the Super Bowl champions. Kraft recently spoke to Albert Breer of Sports Illustrated and discussed Brady’s recent achievement.
“Well, I was really happy for him,” Kraft told Breer. “He’s a great guy and gave us 20 wonderful years, and he made the choice to do what he wanted. Look, I wasn’t very happy to see him go, but we gave him that opportunity to do that. And I want to say that if we are not going to win and someone has to do that, I’m happy for him. He deserves.”
Brady recently signed an extension with the Buccaneers that will keep him under contract until the 2022 season. He is on track to achieve his goal of playing until the age of 45 and it is even possible that the future Hall of Famer will continue if he is in good shape. position at that point.
The Patriots began an unprecedented spending spree this off-season in hopes of putting a champion team back on the pitch.
