Brown agreed to a new contract with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers very recently. But after the surgery, Brown will have to pass a physical examination from the Buccaneers before he can sign his new contract with the franchise.
So expect the contract to take some time before it gets signed. Brown will have to wait before he can take the physical, and even after the contract, he will have to wait before he can return to footballing activities.

The Buccaneers aren’t going to change their mind about Brown. Buccaneers’ GM Jason Licht isn’t worried about the surgery in the slightest. Furthermore, the surgery won’t have any bearing on the new contract for Brown.
For the Buccaneers, bringing Brown back was part of their process to ensure that Tom Brady has the strongest team around him. Brown is one of the several players that the Buccaneers were able to retain going into the new season.
