Spring break may be on the back-burner for a number of people due to the coronavirus pandemic, but it seems that Tampa Bay is suddenly becoming the hot destination for NFL players now that quarterback Tom Brady is expected to sign with the Buccaneers.
Brady, the six-time Super Bowl champion who announced his decision to leave New England earlier this week, will undergo a physical in New York today while the language in his contract gets hammered out. And, not surprisingly, now that Brady is Tampa bound, other players are hoping to follow suit, according to ESPN’s Adam Schefter.
Since word surfaced that Tom Brady is expected to land in Tampa, an unexpected high number of players have reached out to the Buccaneers to let them know they want to join the former Patriots’ QB there, per league sources.

Tampa Bay, which hasn’t been to the postseason since 2007, is suddenly looking like a formidable NFC contender. Brady brings experience and leadership with him, and with a stacked offense, the Bucs will be one of the most feared teams in the league next year.
Players who sign with the Bucs would not only get a chance to play on the same team as the greatest quarterback of all time, but they get to play in sunny Florida where there’s no state income tax.
It seems one Hall of Fame wide receiver is already on board with the idea.
