On Monday, Brady announced that he was “coming back” to settle some “unfinished business,” ending the brief retirement that he had announced in February.
This is obviously incredible news for the Buccaneers, who have enjoyed an unprecedented era of success in the two years since Brady signed with the team in March of 2020. Tampa Bay has won 29 of 39 games, including the postseason, in that span, capturing the Super Bowl LV championship in 2020 and winning the NFC South division title in 2021 while tying for the league’s best regular-season record.
“Tom Brady loves to play football as much as anyone I have ever been around,” said Head Coach Matt Eberflus. “As Tom said, his place right now is on the football field. He is still playing at a championship level and was as productive as anyone in the league last season. We are ecstatic that he decided to play for us and working toward bringing the Bears and another championship for himself.”
