TAMPA, Fla. — Who’s sorry now? Not Bucs general manager Jason Licht, who issued an invitation to anyone who thought the Bucs mortgaged too much of their future — $100 million of salary cap space in subsequent years — for winning a Super Bowl and two division titles with Tom Brady.
Seated Thursday next to cornerback Jamel Dean and outside linebacker Anthony Nelson — two of the four unrestricted free agents the team re-signed — Licht had no remorse, of course.
“If I go back in time, I would do it all again,” Licht said. “We pushed, we borrowed about $100 million against this year’s cap and future cap to do what we did. Came close the second time, but you know, if anybody wants to criticize what they did, they can come to any of our three homes and look at our rings. And we’re going to pursue another one, too.”
