Tom Brady has six Super Bowl rings, and yet he still feels like he has something to prove out there on the football field.
The future hall of famer has hopes of elevating the Tampa Bay Bucs entire organization into the likes of success they have never seen before. The former Patriots quarterback wants “the standard” of greatness that he experienced during his last franchise to follow him to the Bucs.
He reportedly relayed that message to the Bucs front office before he signed his contract.
From Peter King’s Football Morning In America:
“When Brady finally talked to the Buc braintrust on Wednesday—Licht first, then Arians, in a call that lasted longer than an hour—the strongest impression he left with them had a Belichickian tone. However long he stays in Tampa Bay—two years, three years or more—Brady wants to help the organization push one common goal. “The standard,” he called it. Brady wants to help Arians reinforce his standard of excellence in Tampa. At times during the call, it almost felt like Brady was recruiting them, not the other way around.”
If Brady truly wants to play until he’s 45-years-old, then he would be spending 3 years in Tampa and that is more than enough time to get his point across. Who knows, he might end up in the Bucs front office after he retires.
