The last ball Tom Brady threw as a member of the New England Patriots is now available for purchase.

Logan Ryan, the former Tennessee Titans cornerback who intercepted Brady’s final pass as a Patriot, is auctioning off the autographed football with proceeds going to his foundation, the Ryan Animal Rescue Foundation, according to Newsweek’s James Brizuela.

The ball is currently being offered at Goldin Auctions for $100,000 and features Brady’s signature, the date, and the inscription “Last pass as a Patriot.”

“Obviously, with this ball, from a former Patriot to Tom Brady’s final pass as a Patriot, we thought it would be even better if a portion of the proceeds went to animal welfare,” Ryan said. “Tom is also a huge animal rights activist… he’s behind us too.”

Ryan didn’t get Brady to sign the ball until a few years later, when the two were teammates on the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

“I went to Tampa Bay and I teamed up with Tom, I had him sign the ball. He didn’t know he was signing the ball,” Ryan said. “He sang some stuff to me and I kind of smuggled it in with a note that said, ‘Could you please just sign and date this? It’s actually your last pass as a Patriot. Can you write that on it for me?’ And he laughed about it and posted it on Twitter. He had fun with it.”

Brady’s last pass for New England came on January 4, 2020, in a game against the Titans in the wild-card round. The Patriots were trailing by just one point when the legendary quarterback was intercepted by Ryan for a pick-6 with 15 seconds left.

While it’s certainly a play Brady would like to forget, he can at least be assured that the football is going to a good cause.
