For the first time this century, the New England Patriots are looking for a new starting quarterback in the offseason.
In 2001, the choice was made for them. Tom Brady took over for an injured Drew Bledsoe, and Brady ended up leading New England to its first Super Bowl title. That relationship lasted until Tuesday morning, when Brady made the historic announcement that he is leaving the Patriots and playing elsewhere in 2020.
It’s going to be weird to see Brady in a new uniform, and it’s going to be weird to see someone else as quarterback of the Patriots.
