Dear Patriots Family, Fans, and New England Community,
As I reflect on my time with the New England Patriots, I am overwhelmed with gratitude and appreciation for the tremendous support and love I have gotten from everyone. This heartfelt greeting is a modest tribute of my appreciation for the continuous support that has guided me through every stage of my career thus far.
Joining the Patriots has been a dream come true, and I am extremely grateful for the organization’s trust and confidence in me. From the start, I’ve been surrounded by a team that exudes greatness, determination, and a winning attitude. Coaches, players, and staff, your devotion and hard work have been an ongoing source of inspiration. The possibilities you have given me to grow and develop my talents have been precious, and I am determined to reciprocate that trust with my best effort each day.
You, the fans, are the franchise’s heart and soul. Your dedication and enthusiasm are unrivaled, and performing in front of you has been an honor and a privilege. Whether we’re celebrating exciting achievements or enduring difficult times, your support has never wavered. The enthusiasm you bring to Gillette Stadium and the way you cheer us on, rain or shine, is absolutely remarkable. You make us feel like we are a part of something much larger than ourselves, and I am eternally thankful.
The New England community taught me the genuine meaning of solidarity and resilience. Off the field, I was greeted with open arms and seen firsthand the love and generosity that distinguish this region. From humanitarian events to everyday interactions, your kindness and compassion have made me feel completely at home. This sense of unity and cooperation is what makes New England such a special place to live and play.
Throughout the highs and lows, you have supported me and this team. Your conviction in our potential motivates us to work harder and achieve higher. I am grateful for the opportunity to represent this great franchise and this incredible town. As we continue on this road together, I promise to give my all, strive for greatness, and make you proud.
Thank you for the love, support, and wonderful memories we’ve shared thus far. Here’s to many more seasons of development, challenges, and victories together.
With deepest thanks,
Bailey Zappe
