It’s been a busy offseason for the New England Patriots as a handful of players from the 2019 team will not return for the 2020 season due to either a trade, being released or signing elsewhere in free agency.
While head coach Bill Belichick released statements regarding both quarterback Tom Brady and kicker Stephen Gostkowski, the Patriots since have tweeted out a series of videos to thank players whose time with the organization has come to an end.
You can watch them below:
