Buccaneers GM considering Tom Brady extension: 'We'd like to keep this going'


Tom Brady has one season left on his contract with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, but the Bucs are already thinking about adding a few more years to that.

On "The Rich Eisen Show" on Tuesday, Buccaneers general manager Jason Licht revealed that the organization is considering offering Brady an extension to keep him in Tampa for a few more years.

"That's a possibility," Licht said after Eisen asked if a Brady extension was in the cards. "He certainly didn't look like he slowed down any this year. So, that's a possibility. We'll have to see how that goes." Licht told Eisen that they already have two of the most important elements in place for Brady to sign an extension: Brady likes the Bucs, and the Bucs like him.

Offering Brady an extension could also be a strategic move so the team can continue to surround him with top level talent. There are multiple Bucs players headed toward free agency, and Brady's $25 million salary (and $28.375 million salary-cap hit) is significant. An extension would allow the Buccaneers to spread that out a little, which would give them more financial flexibility to sign other players.
