He now gives his franchise some room to maneuver underneath the salary threshold. The Tampa Bay Buccaneers have reportedly revised Tom Brady’s contract in order to avoid a salary-cap constraint ahead of the 2022 Draft.

The move will provide the organization with much-needed flexibility heading into the 2022 NFL Draft, which begins on April 28. The Buccaneers had just $4.8 million in salary-cap space, ranking them the sixth-lowest in the NFL. This move will add some more fuel to the cap, making them ready for the Draft. Brady has entered into a contract renegotiation for the second time in its three years with Tampa Bay.

Brady is 44 years old and shows no signs of stopping. The future Hall of Famer will begin his 23rd season in Tampa. Furthermore, with the mega-savings maneuver, Bucs can use the extra cap money to sign prospective recruits or free agents. Tampa Bay currently has six picks this year, and the Brady impact will surely stay as they take their chances on the Draft.
