Tom Brady admitted to Howard Stern he ‘probably knew before the start of last season’ it was his last in New England

On Wednesday morning, Tom Brady was a guest on “The Howard Stern Show,” discussing a wide range of subjects.

One notable exchange occurred when Stern questioned Brady about his departure from the Patriots. Asked about when he knew he was leaving New England in free agency, the 42-year-old — who signed a two-year contract with the Buccaneers in March — offered a specific point in time.

“I would say I probably knew before the start of last season that it was my last year,” Brady admitted. The night before he announced he was leaving, Brady said he was in tears breaking the news to Patriots owner Robert Kraft.
