Tom Brady’s base salary in 2022 is merely $8.92 million, plus a $1.47 million roster bonus to reimburse him for the 17th game. His salary cap is $20.27 million. Of course, if Brady’s contract gets extended, the Buccaneers will keep Brady’s privileges further than this season. If he intends to conclude his career with another organization, he’ll most likely want to have his membership lapse.

With Brady’s comeback, the Buccaneers are becoming a much more appealing team to rejoin or pursue. Moreover, there are a handful of new features in WR Russell Gage, who joined the team via free agency, and offensive guard Shaq Mason, who joined via a trade with the Patriots. More players include RB Leonard Fournette, center Ryan Jensen and CB Carlton Davis.
TE Rob Gronkowski and Jason Pierre-Paul remain unsigned amid free agency, so there are still a few questions. With only $14.6 million in cap space, they may have to provide a local bargain to remain underneath the threshold.
