Grading the Tampa Bay Buccaneers free-agency signings
Tom Brady
The Buccaneers signed Tom Brady to a two-year, $50 million deal. The contract is fully guaranteed and includes up to $9 million in incentives.
Brady, the top name in terms of free agent quarterbacks this offseason, shocked the world when it was reported that he would be signing with Tampa Bay.
The long belief was that he would either stay in New England or potentially head out west to a market like Los Angeles or Las Vegas. But that didn’t happen.
Brady is not going to turn the ball over at a high rate and he’s going to get the ball out quicker, which will help the offensive line. There are concerns about his age and recent decline, but there’s no reason to believe he can’t get the job done here in the near future.
