Tom Brady has made his move to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers Instagram-official.
In a post on Friday morning, Brady shared an image of himself going through what appeared to be his contract with his new team.
The post made official what sports fans have known since Monday night — after 20 seasons in New England, Brady would play the 2020 season outside of Foxboro.
Brady wrote that he was eager to begin his new journey in Tampa Bay.
"Excited, humble and hungry...if there is one thing I have learned about football, it's that nobody cares what you did last year or the year before that," Brady wrote.
"You earn the trust and respect of those around through your commitment every single day. I'm starting a new football journey and thankful for the @buccaneers for giving me an opportunity to do what I love to do."

In Tampa Bay, Brady will be aligned with head coach Bruce Arians, and have a slew of talented skill position players at his disposal.
Wide receivers Mike Evans and Chris Godwin make up one of the most fearsome tandems in the NFL. Along with tight ends O.J. Howard and Cameron Brate and running back Ronald Jones, the group should be a must-watch offense in the 2020 season.
The Buccaneers had some offensive success in 2019. Quarterback Jameis Winston actually led the NFL in passing with 5,109 yards to go along with an impressive 33 touchdowns. But he was hamstrung by his tendency to turn the ball over, throwing 30 interceptions on the season. That's nine more than Baker Mayfield, 10 more than Philip Rivers, and 14 more than any other quarterback in the NFL.
While Brady might not have the cannon arm that Winston has, he has a knack for taking care of the ball, and that might be enough for Tampa Bay to prosper.
