Robert Kraft has admitted that letting Tom Brady leave the New England Patriots in 2020 was a mistake.

The Patriots let Brady sign with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in free agency. The quarterback won a Super Bowl in his first season away from the Patriots.

New England has gone 29-38 since Brady left.

Kraft had a conversation with Tom Brady, Sr. in September in which he admitted the mistake.

"He just said, 'I made a mistake.' He told us that back in September," Brady Sr. said. "We don't all make the right decisions, but he's made a hell of a lot of good ones over the years. But I know that it galls him that Tommy went elsewhere and won. Not that he won, but that he won after Bill (Belichick) said he was done."
