The Tampa Bay Buccaneers and QB Tom Brady have restructured his contract to free up over $9 million in salary-cap space for the team leading up to this upcoming week's NFL Draft.

Tom Brady and the Buccaneers restructured his 2022 contract today, creating over $9 million of added salary cap space for Tampa Bay as it gets ready to head into next week’s draft, league sources tell ESPN. Brady still is scheduled to be a free agent after this season.

The move frees up a decent amount of cap space for the Bucs to help sign free agents or to make moves during/after the draft. Brady restructuring his contract can only help make the current roster better, ultimately giving them a better shot at reaching and possibly winning another Super Bowl.

It is important to note, that Brady is still scheduled to be a free agent after this season where we could see the greatest QB of all time possibly move onto another team, return to play for the Bucs, or retire for a second time.
