The Buccaneers fired Byron Leftwich, which may suggest they’re done with Tom Brady too

One of Tom Brady’s first connections as a Tampa Bay Buccaneer wasn’t with Mike Evans or Chris Godwin. It was with Byron Leftwich, the team’s offensive coordinator and then a rising star as a potential head coach.

The two met throughout Brady’s first offseason with the team to build a playbook.

The Bucs won Super Bowl 54 at home. Brady threw 40 touchdowns that season.
