Fans want to know: What will the greatest quarterback of all time do next?
An announcement is expected soon and a person close to Brady told The Associated Press his decision will be based on family priorities, not finances. The person spoke to the AP on condition of anonymity Sunday because he wasn't authorized to speak on Brady's behalf.
Brady's contract is a complicated matter for the Buccaneers. He signed a $25 million, one-year extension with three voidable years last March to free up salary cap space to allow the Buccaneers to return all 22 starters from the Super Bowl championship team. "The Bucs would have the right to ask for $16 million of Tom Brady's $20 million signing bonus back. Whether the Bucs would exercise the right is a different story," Joel Corry, a former sports agent and NFL contract and salary cap expert, told the AP.
"By doing so, the $24 million of bonus proration associated with the `dummy or fake' 2023 through 2025 contract years would be a 2023 salary cap charge rather than part of the 2022 dead money, which would be $8 million," Corry explained in his article for CBSSports.com."The Buccaneers would pick up $12,270,588 of 2022 cap room with Brady's 2022 salary and $1.875 million of incentives deemed likely to be earned that have a cap charge coming off the books.
Brady informed Buccaneers general manager Jason Licht he has not made a decision, according to two people who spoke to the AP on condition of anonymity because of the private nature of the conversations. Brady led the NFL in yards passing , touchdowns , completions and attempts , but the Buccaneers lost at home to the Rams last Sunday in the divisional round after rallying from a 27-3 deficit to tie in the final minute.
