Tom Brady, the man, the myth, legend. He never ceases to amaze with his on and off-the-field actions. The NFL world was left shocked and surprised when he announced his return to the NFL just 40 days after retiring. He claimed that he had more unfinished business with football.
It is certain that Tom Brady will play for the Buccaneers in 2022 but earlier, there were rumors of him playing for the Miami Dolphins. Such speculations originally came to light during Brady’s retirement when it was rumored that the Dolphins would go after Sean Payton and Brady in a tandem move.
“We are just excited that Tom Brady is back”: Jason Licht
Moreover, not long ago, another NFL executive went one step further and told The Athletic’s Mike Sando that Brady will join the Dolphins in the next season. The executive claimed that Tom Brady and Sean Payton will be with the Miami Dolphins next year in case Brady decides not to continue his contract with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
In addition to this, what came as another twist in the tale was a report by Pro Football Talk which suggested that Brady was all set to be named a minority owner of the Dolphins. So many reports, so many speculations, definitely the fans needed a little more clarity which has been provided.
Addressing the rumors, Tampa Bay’s general manager Jason Licht said that he hasn’t discussed anything about the Dolphins’ story with Brady. “No, we haven’t had those discussions. The only discussions I’ve had, we’ve had with Tom has been, that he came back and we’re excited about this year and we’re excited to get going.”
He went on to add that such reports haven’t had any kind of effect on the Bucs’ preparations with Brady. “I make of it, chatter, just like you said. We’re focused on putting our team together here with the draft and we’re all excited, we’re all in lock-step here – Tom, Todd, myself, Byron – the entire coaching staff – on this season,” said Licht.
He further stated that Bruce Arians is still an active part of the preparations. “Bruce has still been involved. He’s still been in our meetings. I meet with Bruce periodically and he’s gonna be involved here as we put the final touches on our draft too. Our philosophy hasn’t changed. We still wanna bring in really good players,” he claimed.
