Extension Talks For Tom Brady, Buccaneers Picking Up Steam

Tom Brady and the Buccaneers have some "good momentum" going on a possible contract extension for the legendary quarterback, NFL insider Adam Shefter said during an ESPN appearance on Monday.

Brady, 43, has one year left on his current contract, signed last summer. He of course led the Bucs to the Super LV title in his first season.

A Brady extension could come as soon as later this month. Given how he has said he'd like to play beyond his current deal, it may not hurt to get it done sooner rather than later.

Buccaneers general manager Jason Licht recently said on the Rich Eisen Show that a contract extension for Brady is "a possibility." Licht admittedly has spoken with Brady "often" since the end of the season.

Brady has won seven Super Bowls, more than any team. And between the Buccaneers (one) and Patriots (nine), he’s been to 10 Super Bowls in all. He finished this past regular season with 4,633 yards passing, 40 touchdowns and a mere 12 interceptions.
