Hope is all New England Patriots fans have right now. And Tom Brady is keeping that hope alive.
The 42-year-old quarterback will be free to sign with any NFL team when he becomes a free agent in March. Patriots fans obviously don't want to see him go, though -- as evidenced by a message for Brady etched into the ice at the Boston Public Garden lagoon over the weekend.
That message apparently reached Brady, who re-shared the photo on his Instagram story Tuesday with the caption "Love you all."
