New England Patriots owner Robert Kraft told Tampa Bay they have "got a great one" in a message thanking new Buccaneers quarterback Tom Brady.
It was confirmed on Friday that Brady had signed for the Bucs having left the Patriots after 20 seasons with New England.
Kraft was the owner back in 2000 when Brady was selected with the 199th overall pick of the NFL Draft, a selection that brought two decades of success to the franchise.
Mark Katches, the executive editor for the Tampa Bay Times, explained that the Patriots had taken out a full-page advert in Sunday's newspaper titled 'Thank you Tom'.
