The NFL franchise Tampa Bay Buccaneers and head coach Bruce Arians faced a lot of Tom Brady questions despite Brady clearing his retirement plans. Coach Arians was left unhappy and quite upset with the amount of speculation surrounding his relationship with QB Tom Brady. The rumor was false in his eyes and disgruntled him further while addressing anything relating to the matter.

The rumor came up following a tweet from former NFL player Rich Ohrnberger who claimed tensions between Brady, Arians, and OC Byron Leftwich on Friday. While addressing the alleged tweet, Arians stated, “It seems like there’s one (story) every day now. Everybody is speculating he’s going somewhere else. That don’t bother me. This other bulls—, the relationship thing, that’s so far-fetched.”

Ohrnberger’s tweet claims that the Arians and Brady relationship has degraded to a very concerning level. He believes it to be a factor in Brady’s decision to retire. Arians were not hesitant to answer or entertain any questions that hint Brady playing for another franchise. He also showed confidence in the franchise and how they will attack all fronts to find a starting QB.

Recent weeks in the league were dominated by reports of Brady eyeing a comeback. But Brady remains on the Buccaneers‘ roster and will be moved to the reserve/retired list after June 1. With him on their books, only $8 million of the $32 million of dead money for his contract will go under next season’s salary cap.
