It's official -- Tom Brady is heading to Florida! On Tuesday the 6-time Super Bowl champion announced he would be leaving the New England Patriots and coach Bill Belichick after 20 seasons. ESPN's Jeff Darlington reported last month that Brady was serious about testing the free agent market and was in search of a fresh start. The news had the entire sports world buzzing and endless speculation began as to where the future Hall-of-Famer would resume his career. Today, Brady officially put pen to paper on his new 2-year deal worth $60 million.
The Los Angeles Chargers were an early favorite following the departure of their longtime QB Philip Rivers. Brady recently teamed with Avengers: Infinity War and Avengers: Endgame directors Joe and Anthony Russo to launch a Hollywood production company and many a move to SoCal would make the most sense. But in the end, the Chargers decided to stick with backup QB Tyrod Taylor to lead the offense in 2020.
After the Tampa Bay Buccaneers decided to move on from quarterback Jameis Winston, the door opened for Tom Brady to join coach Bruce Arians in sunny Florida. Brady, who will be 43-year-old old when the season begins, instantly makes the team a Super Bowl contender for the first time since 2003. The roster addition is set to bring success to a struggling franchise that has perennially sat at the bottom of the division while Tom has dominated in New England.
Tom Brady will play in Tampa. This season’s Super Bowl is in Tampa. No host city ever has had its home team play in the Super Bowl. Tom Brady now aiming at more history.
As he prepares to write the final chapter of his illustrious career, the 14-time Pro Bowler and 3-time league MVP left the fans of New England with a heartfelt message:

Ben Affleck and Cuban girlfriend Ana de Armas grabbed some coffee to-go from Starbucks in the Pacific Palisades village, just minutes from the actor's west-side mega-mansion. The pair have been holed up in the golf course-view estate in the Riviera since they returned from a romantic vacation in Costa Rica.
When he's not with his new lady love, Ben can be found taking advantage of his free time by hanging out with his three children, Violet, Seraphina, and Samuel. California Governor Gavin Newsom recently stated schools will likely remain closed for the remainder of the school year so Ben will definitely have lots of extra time to spend with his little ones.

The couple hopped a jet to Justin's native land in Canada where they plan on socially distancing themselves at his secluded estate for the time being.
