REPORT: Tom Brady Laid Out 3 ‘Conditions’ For The Tampa Bay Buccaneers

Tom Brady wasn’t going to agree to play for another franchise without getting his way in negotiations.

Tom Brady’s free agent destination has yet to be officially announced, however, reports have suggested that he is headed to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

The six-time Super Bowl winning quarterback announced his departure from New England on Tuesday, stating, “Our team set a great standard in pro sports and I know it will continue to do just that,” Brady said in a statement. “Although my football journey will take place elsewhere, I appreciate everything that we have achieved and am grateful for our incredible TEAM accomplishments.”

The 42-year-old’s decision reportedly came down to the Chargers and Bucs.

On Wednesday, Albert Breer reported that Brady had a couple of “conditions” for his new contract.

As we wait for Tom Brady's deal with the Buccaneers, some conditions that existed …

• TB wanted a 2-year commitment, backed by guarantees.
• Ask was $60M, but allowed for creativity. This wasn't all about $$$.
• He wanted to give his new team financial flexibility to add.

He gave those conditions to both the Bucs and Chargers.

… And really, that sort of setup isn't unlike how his negotiations went in New England. The two teams involved — the Buccaneers and Chargers — were both amenable to these conditions.

Which basically gave Brady his pick (and we've been over why it was Tampa).
