After the season-ending loss against the Los Angeles Rams, Tom Brady has been making headlines on his future, which many anticipate has come to an abrupt end. The quarterback truly had a remarkable campaign with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in these past two years. But the question lies; will he be in Florida to play a third season too?

Only time can tell that. As of now, the 44-year-old veteran feels very grateful and appreciative of his teammates who have been with him all year long. The franchise had a near-miss attempt to the NFC Championship spot after the Bucs made a remarkable 24 point comeback late in the game only to come short of a field goal in the end.

“I always want to win, I think that’s pretty apparent by now, but that doesn’t mean I equate losing to failure, especially when you go out fighting the way we did… There’s so much to appreciate in a season like this when you’re surrounded by a team that believes in each other, and plays for the people standing on either side of them. I’ll spare you the Man in the Arena quote, but that feeling is something that I promise I’ll never take for granted. To everyone that was a part of it this year, thank you. I love you all!”
