Latest On Buccaneers, Tom Brady

Yes, it’s true: Tom Brady has agreed to join the Buccaneers. But, as of this writing, the deal has not been signed, because Brady has not been able to take a physical yet due to the league’s travel restrictions, Mike Florio of PFT (on Twitter) hears.

Still, this only seems to be a temporary hitch. Everyone is on the same page, Jeff Darlington of ESPN.com (on Twitter) hears, and Brady is working to get a physical from a doctor in New York. Ideally, the physical would be conducted by the Bucs’ team doctors, but all parties involved are willing to make things work under these unprecedented circumstances.

We’ll keep track of the latest updates on Brady and the Bucs here:

  • The Brady effect has been huge for the Bucs’ free agency hopes. Since Brady agreed to go to Tampa, “an unexpected high number of players have reached out to the Buccaneers to let them know they want to join,” sources tell ESPN.com’s Adam Schefter (on Twitter). This, perhaps, will give the Bucs extra motivation to get a deal finalized by the end of business on Thursday. Free agents are rapidly flying off of the board and they’ll want to capitalize before their top targets are spoken for.
