Schefter: Tom Brady 'expected' to sign with Buccaneers
Free agent quarterback Tom Brady, formerly of the New England Patriots, is expected to sign with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, reports Adam Schefter of ESPN.
What It Means:
Ian Rapoport of NFL Network adds that the deal is expected to be around $30 million per year. The Los Angeles Chargers were also said to be in the running, but the Buccaneers emerged as the favorite to land Brady in recent days. It essentially guarantees that last year's leader in passing yards and interceptions, Jameis Winston, will sign with another team.
Brady averaged 253.6 passing yards, 1.50 touchdowns, and 16.98 FanDuel points per game last season. His 3.9 touchdown percentage was a career-low while his completion percentage (60.8) and adjusted yards per pass attempt (6.8) were both below Brady's career averages for the first time since 2013. Furthermore, Brady only added .07 expected points per play to the Patriots last season, his lowest mark since 2003.
