Bucs GM Jason Licht

Yes, Tom Brady is playing for the Bucs this season. But will Brady desire his NFL freedom after the 2022 campaign?

Thats a major unknown. And Joe suspects that was part of the discussion when Brady went to England two weeks ago, assuming he actually met with Team Glazer there.Bradys unretirement does not mean hes playing only one more season, so his 2023 rights are a legitimate question.

Listening to Bucs general manager Jason Licht on SiriusXM NFL Radio this week, it sure seems like it wont be long before Brady has a new contract.

We may need to create some more cap space, or what have you, and thats one well take a look at and well talk to his representatives, Licht said while answering a question about a new contract for Brady.

Sowhether its an extension or an adjustment, well see where that goes.

Of course, the Bucs would prefer an extension to Bradys contract that expires after this season. And Joe confidently states the Bucs would give Brady anything he wants, including Aaron Rodgers money (plus an extra million, of course) in 2023 and beyond.

Team Glazer could always pay Brady a monstrous signing bonus as part of a Buccaneers-for-life contract. If he retires, then the Bucs can spread the cap hit over the life of the deal. And who could really cry foul if Brady signed a six-year contract and only played one year? The notion of Brady playing at 50 years old isnt ludicrous.

Joe suspects Team Glazer already has a massive offer to Brady on the table. And as was discussed on the Ira Kaufman Podcast, perhaps an unnamed party also will place an order for 500,000 units of The Big Tom water bottle.
