Tom Brady is leaving the Patriots for the Buccaneers

TB, say hello to TB.

Tom Brady, the only NFL quarterback with six Super Bowl rings, is headed to Tampa Bay.

The longtime New England Patriots superstar has agreed in principle to a deal with the Buccaneers, ending months of speculation Tuesday with a final flurry of activity.

In the morning, he posted statements on social media saying it was time to start a new career chapter, that his time in New England was over, and thanking the organization and its fans.

By the afternoon, amid chatter the Chargers still might be in play, it was clear he was headed for Tampa.
