Former NFL GM Reveals Tampa Bay Buccaneers Open to Major “Teardown” Following Tom Brady’s Departure

Former Buffalo Bills GM Doug Whaley talked about the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, who are currently on the list of top teams to win the Super Bowl this season. Doug singled out Tom Brady for the team’s success while sidelining Buccaneers’ General Manager Jason Licht.

Recently, Doug Whaley appeared on Sirius XM NFL Radio, where he said, “This is one of those teams where the way it’s constructed is, ‘We’re all-in with Tom, and then when Tom leaves, we’re going to have to start from Square 1. Everybody likes to say, well, we’re going to reload. I think it’s going to be a teardown and let’s rebuild.”

Doug Whaley thinks Buccaneers are all about Tom Brady, and the team got stronger when Tom became a part of their roster. Bucs may look stronger this season, but when Tom leaves, they will be back to where they were before 2021. 

Tom Brady signed a deal with Tampa Bay Buccaneers after playing 20 seasons for New England Patriots. While playing his first season for Tampa Bay, he led the team to the Super Bowl and defeated Kansas City Chiefs by 31-9. This was their 2nd Super Bowl win in the franchise history, having won their first Super Bowl in 2003.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers GM Jason Licht played a great role to build a winning team

Tom Brady made a difference after he was acquired in 2020, but Buccaneers GM Jason Licht had some role to play in it. Not only Tom Brady, but he also acquired former Patriots tight end Rob Gronkowski, who after his retirement joined the Bucs.

He also signed veteran running back LeSean McCoy, who was a perfect fit to match Tom Brady. Other great choices by Jason Licht were players like Leonard Fournette and Antonio Brown. Both have proved beneficial for Tampa’s offense.

Well, Whaley did mention that he is not sure whether Brady will retire after this season. But he thinks the Buccaneers will have to make great efforts after the legendary QB retires. There is a fair chance that Brady might play for the next four years. But there are many NFL analysts who want GM Licht to prove himself after Brady’s era comes to an end.
