The New England Patriots' search for Tom Brady's replacement will not be over in a short amount of time.
According to ESPN's Josina Anderson, the Patriots "aren't rushing into anything" in the hunt to find a successor to the 42-year-old.
Brady reportedly reached an agreement with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, per NFL Network's Ian Rapoport, after he publicly said goodbye to New England Tuesday morning.
The search could begin internally with Jarrett Stidham and Cody Kessler, who are the two quarterbacks currently under contract with the team.
