The TB12 brand will live on in Tampa.
The Tampa Bay Buccaneers announced on Tuesday that quarterback Tom Brady will wear No 12 with his new team, just as he did for 20 seasons and while winning six Super Bowl championships with the New England Patriots.
Wide receiver Chris Godwin had worn No 12 since 2017, when the Buccaneers selected him in the third round of the 2017 NFL Draft. He's switching to No 14.
The Buccaneers' website said Godwin and Brady spoke on the phone after Brady signed his two-year deal with the Bucs on March 20, and Godwin told team reporter Casey Phillips he'd give up the number to the NFL legend.
