The Tampa Bay Buccaneers announced the re-signing of defensive tackle Ndamukong Suh on Thursday for a reported one year and $8 million, per ESPN's Adam Schefter.

"I think the first signing that illustrates how much a player wanted to play with Tom Brady was Ndamukong Suh's one-year, $8-million deal with the Bucs," NBC Sports' Peter King wrote on Sunday night. "One team talking with Suh believes playing with Brady was the tipping point in Tampa Bay's favor."

Brady departed the New England Patriots to join the Bucs on a two-year deal, and the move became official on March 20:

Suh originally landed in Tampa on a one-year deal in March 2019.
