Tom Brady dropped a bombshell bigger than the 68-team March Madness bracket on Selection Sunday, announcing that he will be coming out of retirement to give it another go as quarterback of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. And it seems that he's not just the only important member of the Bucs' backfield in 2021 who be making a comeback to Tampa. Following Brady's announcement, running back Leonard Fournette left a hint on his future with the Buccaneers in the form of a social media gesture.
Just last week, Fournette sort of said goodbye to the Buccaneers through an Instagram post that is now already missing. It has apparently been deleted, thus opening the doors for more speculations about his future.

In the now-deleted post, Fournette said that “They could never say I didn’t give it my all every time I suited up, didn’t really have time to reflect on the season but I’m thankful appreciate my teammates, coaches, family, fans for everything.”
Fournette is set to become an NFL free agent after playing a couple of seasons with the Buccaneers. Then again, he might be staying in Tampa after all for at least one more season, but of course, that would mainly depend on whether he and the Bucs would agree on a deal.
The former LSU Tigers tailback is only 26 and has rushed for 1,179 yards and 14 touchdowns in 26 games in Buccaneers uniform.
