Tom Brady has agreed to join the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in historic NFL free-agency move, per reports
The former New England Patriots quarterback agreed in principle to sign with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, according to NFL Network and ESPN.Earlier in the day, NFL Network reported that the Los Angeles Chargers believed they are out of the running for Brady. The six-time Super Bowl champion and three-time MVP would prefer to stay on the East Coast because of"family considerations," according to the report.
In Tampa, Brady would work under the guidance of coach Bruce Arians, who sharply contrasts the Patriots' Bill Belichick with his self-described"easygoing demeanor." The Buccaneers' top-ranked offense also returns plenty of assets, including Pro Bowl wide receivers Chris Godwin and Mike Evans.
The move is a significant splash for a franchise primarily known for its turbulent early years, in which it routinely finished with one of the league's worst records. Tampa will host the Super Bowl in 2020 as the Buccaneers look to become the first NFL team to win the Lombardi Trophy on their home field.
