The Tampa Bay Buccaneers have made a significant mark in their franchise history with the signing of Tom Brady five years ago. After struggling with quarterback stability, his arrival marked a turning point, leading to three successful seasons from 2020 to 2022 that included a Super Bowl victory. Brady's performance during his tenure was exceptional, accumulating 14,683 passing yards and 108 touchdowns, establishing numerous franchise records.

Brady's contract at $30 million annually was considered a bargain in today's market, and he holds a remarkable 32-18 record with the Bucs. His impact extended beyond just statistics, revitalizing the franchise and setting a standard that the Buccaneers strive to maintain with their new quarterback, Kyle Trask, who now becomes the second quarterback in franchise history drafted and extended by the team.
