This summer is a new experience for Tom Brady, and it's not just because of COVID-19, it's being with a new team for the first time in 20 years.
Brady is in the middle of his first training camp with the Buccaneers after signing with the organization this offseason as a free agent.
Speaking with NBC Sports' Peter King, Brady gave more insight into what went on last March.
"I thought long and hard about making the decision," Brady said. "I put a lot of really careful thought into everything that I really valued. I probably listed 20 different things that were important. I had a weighted scale about what was not so important. When I added it up, Tampa seemed like it was a great opportunity. If I think back at the decision, I am so happy with the decision I made."
Brady acknowledged he thought long and hard about it, and it wasn't an easy decision by any means.
"I made a decision to do something different," the 43-year old said. "It was a very thoughtful decision. It wasn't a spur of the moment thing. It was some people that I really talked with and confided in. And it's really worth it to me.
"I'm really excited about this opportunity for me as a player, to go to an organization that I feel like is committed to winning."
As for leaving New England?
"I spent 20 years in one place," Brady said. "I left on great terms, and I have so much respect for everybody in that organization."
Brady and his new team will open the 2020 season in New Orleans against Drew Brees and the Saints.
