Bucs Insider Rick Stroud in The Rich Eisen Show he stated that if the GOAT, “got to August or September even or you know right at the start of the season, and Tom said he wants to play, they’re going to absolutely own his rights, sometime after June 1st they’re going to put him in the reserve/retired list. He’s going to count $8 million against the cap this year and $24 million he gets the cap in 2023.”
