Tampa Bay Buccaneers general manager Jason Licht didn’t sound like a man convinced he was losing the greatest quarterback of all time to retirement.
Licht was asked about quarterback Tom Brady — and the Buccaneers’ plans at the position. He made no clear indication about the team’s expectations, with speculation swirling that Brady, who announced his retirement in February, might return to the NFL as soon as the 2022 season.
“We’ll see what the future holds,” Licht said during an interview on NFL Network on Tuesday at the NFL combine in Indianapolis. “We’ll leave the light on. You always leave the light on for a guy like Tom Brady.”
