Buccaneers general manager Jason Licht and head coach Bruce Arians have said over the last 40 days that they would leave the light on for Tom Brady, just in case he decided to go back on his retirement and return for his 23rd NFL season.
On Sunday, it proved to be a smart move to do so. Brady announced via social media that he’s coming back for another season in Tampa. And with that, the entire NFL world was turned on its head.
This means a great deal to the Bucs and their free agency plans.
