Tom Brady has finalized an agreement to join the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on a deal worth roughly $30 million per year. The 43-year-old played the first 20 seasons of his career for the New England Patriots, and for the first time since 1999, will wear a different uniform.
A six-time Super Bowl champion, 14-time Pro Bowler, three-time first-team All-Pro and three-time MVP with the Patriots, Brady is joining, in Tampa Bay, an outfit that has not made the playoffs since 2007. T
Brady will inherit the third-ranked total and scoring offense from 2019 with weapons he hasn’t seen in New England since the Randy Moss era. Tampa Bay is returning two 1,000-yard receivers in Mike Evans and Chris Godwin, two pass-catching tight ends in O.J. Howard and Cameron Brate and a rising running back in Ronald Jones.
