Report: Tom Brady to Sign with Buccaneers

Former New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady, will sign a deal with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Wednesday, according to a report.

Fox Sports host Colin Cowherd says he received a text message from someone in Brady’s “stratosphere,” who told him he plans to join the Bucs.

“I was told 35 minutes ago that Tom Brady signs tomorrow with Tampa Bay. He had made a decision and talked to Tampa Bay yesterday,” Cowherd said. “He was willing to re-sign with New England but he watched Stefon Diggs and DeAndre Hopkins go to other franchises and then called Robert Kraft an hour and a half later and says ‘I’M OUT’… I am told Tampa is the choice and he will sign tomorrow… This is not a ‘football source’, it is a ‘Icon’ source, and somebody in Tom’s stratosphere that knows Tom and who is a famous person. He says Tampa.”

The Bucs, along with the Chargers, had been considered the two strongest contenders for Brady’s services after the 49ers backed out.
