This was an act of piracy by some Tampa Bay Buccaneers which will change the NFL. On Tuesday morning, Tom Brady shocked the world by releasing a statement. In it, he let a football loving nation know his time with the New England Patriots was over.

Sad face emoji.

That's the bad news for those in New England. However, there's a cherry on top of this pie… or something. Tom Brady might be leaving his home of over two decades, but he has agreed in principle to a deal with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

This is obviously significant. While many believe his best days are behind him, Tom Brady is arguably the greatest quarterback in the history of the National Football League.

Clearly, only time will tell how this works out for the Buccaneers. Nevertheless, with no sports happening for roughly 90 days at the very least, Touchdown Tom Brady managed to command the spotlight by signing with the Buccaneers.

The deal is in the area of $30 million for the 2020 NFL season.
