Former NFL GM Predicts the Bucs Future and Way Ahead for Tom Brady

The seven-time Super Bowl Champion Tom Brady is playing in his 23rd NFL season. As a result, he might opt to leave the gridiron once and for all or continue with his career. Regardless of whatever happens, former General Manager Michael Lombardi claims that Brady won’t play for the Buccaneers next year.

For the last couple of weeks, Tom Brady’s future has become a hot topic of discussion. His unretirement decision and the recent divorce from Gisele Bündchen paved the way for all this chatter to gain traction.

After this season, the Buccaneers will lose control of its quarterback, and they won’t be able to put him under the franchise tag. Hence an imminent change of base can be expected, something that Lombardi suggested in his latest interview with VSIN.

“There was a report the other day that Brady will not be back with Tampa Bay, I don’t know who reported it, but I would say without a doubt, that’s probably accurate,” he said before detailing more on Brady’s connection with the Patriots.

“I would say that without a doubt because his contract expires, and I think he’s seen life outside of the Patriot Way. And like all of us that have, it’s uncomfortable, and it’s hard to survive.” Lombardi added. Despite being associated with the Buccaneers since 2020, fans still consider him a Patriot.

And the reason being his contribution towards the community and changing its landscape for two decades, winning six Super Bowls for the franchise. According to some recent reports, Brady’s comeback to New England can’t be ignored, and the chances for that to happen are quite high.

Ever since Brady stepped foot in Tampa Bay, Bruce Arians happened to be his mentor and coach, lending his services till the 2021 season. He certainly knows a thing or two about Brady because the veteran still serves as a senior consultant for the Bucs front office.

During his recent interaction with the reporters, BA spitted some truth bombs based on his recent talks with the quarterback. “He loves it here,” Arians said. “He loves his teammates, his coaches, and the organization. If he decides to play next season, I think it will be with the Buccaneers,” he added.

Well, it’s yet to be seen what’s ahead for Brady. Apart from his willingness to return, certain factors like salary cap play a big role in making such decisions. Fans can tune in for more updates as this happens to be a developing story.
