Whispers will persist that Tom Brady merely came out of retirement for Bruce Arians’ departure. Arians told on Thursday that he didn’t reach retirement age until early this week. In short, Brady did not know Arians was retiring. Now that Todd Bowles will take over as Head Coach, the 2022 performance of the Bucs will be something interesting to look for.
