Before Tom Brady declared his comeback, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers may have been on the verge of a rebuild. This one would have started with a trade for a new quarterback, according to head coach Bruce Arians.
Tampa/Munich – Tampa Bay was preparing for the era after Tom Brady.
Quite specifically, as head coach Bruce Arians now revealed to the “NFL Network”: “We were close to turning over every stone.” According to this, the Bucs were probably about a day away from making a serious offer for a free agent or a potential trade.
“Jason Licht made his calls. We were in the middle of it when Tom decided to come back,” Arians added: “Thank God we were then able to say to our other plans, ‘No thanks, bro. We’re out of this.'”
Arians: rumours of Brady trade complete nonsense
Also, Brady probably realised that Tampa had already started looking around for another quarterback and as a result decided to announce his comeback as soon as possible.
Meanwhile, Arians was quick to dismiss recent rumours of a possible Brady trade to the Miami Dolphins, saying, “I have no idea where that came from. Someone has to write a story about something every day. Tom and I have a great relationship. “
