I am glad Brady and the Bucs won.
I believe you a missing my point.

Brady had wanted to leave the Pats for the two previous years.
The Pats tried to trade him and nobody wanted him. It was not up to Bellichick. Kraft writes the checks. Brady wanted to leave.

Every other NFL franchise had a chance to sign Brady for $30 million for 2 years. He really wanted to got to San Francisco(where he is from). They decided to keep Jimmy G instead. Cleveland decided to draft Baker Mayfield instead of trading for Gronk and Brady. Bill wanted Mayfield.

Brady fit Tampa very well. They had a great defensive team without a QB. Now, they look really smart. How come all the other teams did not want a 43 year old QB?

No problem, I think the franchise was moving on from Brady which is why prior to free agency he may have been interested in a trade. But he hung in there even though they were more focused on future rebuilding than keeping him. He made a good move, as did Tampa. Like you said, it was a good fit.
