It appears the Tampa Bay Buccaneers are really set on signing Tom Brady.

According to ESPN's Mike Reiss, the Buccaneers have made an “aggressive pitch” to the free agent quarterback. Tampa Bay is one of several teams interested in Brady. That list includes the New England Patriots, Los Angeles Chargers, and Las Vegas Raiders.

Although the Patriots held the advantage of being the only team that could talk to Brady until noon of today, talks have not progressed. In fact, Adam Schefter of ESPN reported on Monday morning that there are no positive updates on talks.

“Again, we’re in the middle of March. We’re about to embark upon free agency and Tom Brady does not have anything close to a deal in New England yet. Now I know people think that he’s going back to New England. What makes them think that? Why would they think that now? When this has been going on since he put the motion to place where he basically voided the contract.”

“There haven’t been any substantial contract negotiations. There hasn’t been anything that resembles a deal. Why do people think now all of a sudden at the 24th hour, something’s going to get done that hasn’t gotten done in previous weeks and months? I don’t understand that.”

While many haven't taken the idea of Brady leaving the Patriots seriously, it's time to do so now.
