At 43 years of age, Tom Brady is already defying what was believed to be possible for a quarterback in the NFL. Having just won his seventh Super Bowl, Brady is clearly still capable of playing at the highest level.
That said, the Buccaneers’ recent Super Bowl win was at least partly a product of having an overwhelming amount of talent on the team’s roster. With the onset of the offseason, Tampa Bay now has to confront several questions over free agents.
The team’s cap space could theoretically increase if Buccaneers general manager Jason Licht was able to sign Brady to a contract extension. Still, agreeing to a contract extension with a 43-year-old quarterback would appear foolish. But with Brady — and his historic longevity — it’s apparently on the table, as Licht confirmed in an interview with radio host Rich Eisen.
“It’s a possibility,” Licht said of a Brady extension. “He certainly didn’t look like he slowed down any this year.”
“We’ll have to see how that goes,” added the Tampa Bay executive.
