Tampa Bay Buccaneers GM Jason Licht said six-time Super Bowl champion quarterback Tom Brady pitched himself to the team.
Corrections and Clarifications: A previous version of this story incorrectly identified the first day NFL teams could talk to free agents from other teams. It was March 16.
Licht said he and coach Bruce Arians spoke to Brady on March 18 and quickly realized they were on the reverse end of what they initially expected. . Licht noted of the 42-year-old Brady, who turns 43 in August:"We feel like he could still play for over two years for us, and hopefully that's the case."
