The Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback posted a heartfelt message on his Instagram story:
Chung played with Brady from when he was drafted by the Patriots in 2009 through the 2012 season. When the veteran safety returned to the Patriots in 2014 after spending one season with the Philadelphia Eagles, he played six more seasons in New England before hanging up his cleats.

Between his two stints in New England, Chung won three Super Bowl titles alongside Brady.
The Patriots will definitely miss Chung's impact on and off the field, but they still have good depth and a lot of talent in the secondary heading into the 2021 campaign.
