Patriots owner Robert Kraft offers sincere gesture to Tom Brady: 'The greatest of all time!'

New England Patriots owner Robert Kraft may be disappointed with Tom Brady’s decision to leave, but he’s sending the star quarterback off with an endearing goodbye.

Just days after Brady announced that he was leaving to pursue his football career “elsewhere,” Kraft put up several billboards near Gillette Stadium that read “Thank you Tom. The greatest of all time! With love, the Kraft family and the New England Patriots.”
