The Buccaneers had quite a shake-up this season. After losing a few key players in the offensive line and the defensive line. They also had a change in staff as Bruce Arians stepped down from the HC role and took a position in the front office. To replace him, the Bucs chose the former defensive coordinator, Todd Bowles. The team has struggled this season, owing to many factors like injuries, offensive shortcomings, and a weak O-line. However, after going 8-9 this season, the team still sits on top of the NFC South.

Right now, there is no guarantee that the 7-time Super Bowl Champion comes back for another season. But the consensus around the league indicates that the fans can witness another season with Brady. On the other hand, there is also a growing feeling that his destination might change from Tampa Bay, Florida. There might be a lot of interest in the player coming from the Las Vegas Raiders after their fallout with Derek Carr.

A lot will also depend on Aaron Rodgers and whether he decides to change jerseys for the time in his career. The back-to-back MVP could bounce from the Green Bay Packers, which would spell a few windows get smaller for the 45-year-old.

Currently, there are chances that even Brady is not worried about next season. The postseason is now beginning and the QB will look to put his best foot forward.
