The former New England Patriots quarterback announced Friday he was joining the team in the start of what he called "a new football journey." The six-time Super Bowl champion and three-time MVP agreed to terms on a contract Tuesday but needed to take a physical to complete the deal.
The contract is for two years and a fully guaranteed $50 million with another $9 million in incentives, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter. The agreement also prevents the Buccaneers from using the franchise tag to retain Brady at the completion of the deal, per Schefter.
