It seems like Tom Brady leaving the New England Patriots is the only story that can be discussed at this point in time, and for good reason. He was a cornerstone of the best dynasty in North American sports and he will no longer be in a Patriots uniform. There are many questions about where he'll go and what the Patriots will do to replace him. Those will be answered in due time.
