When Tom Brady signed with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers before the 2020 season, many Patriots fans wondered how deep the rift between the Hall of Fame-bound quarterback and the team he won six Super Bowl Championships really was.
But in the first NFL week after retiring during the offseason, he was back in New England and was very much back in the franchise fold. Brady returned to New England for Week 1 and was honored at halftime of the Patriots’ game with the Eagles.

After Robert Kraft announced that the team was waiving the four-year waiting period to put him in the Patriots Hall of Fame, Brady assured the fans, many of whom, like him, were wearing his No. 12 jersey how he felt.
“One thing that will never change. I am a Patriot for life,” he said with his family and quite a few former teammates joining him and Robert and Jonathan Kraft on the field.
Brady will go into the Patriots Hall of Fame on June 12, 2024. The date is symbolic because it is 6-12. Six for the number of Super Bowls he won in New England and 12 for his jersey number. Kraft said the ceremony will be in Gillette Stadium for the first time.
Halftime was the featured event in a day celebrating Brady. He rung the new bell from the newly rebuilt Gillette Stadium lighthouse before the game. He did his traditional pregame sprint at halftime like he did every game as a player and yelled “Let’s go!” at the end.
