Brady spent his entire career with the New England Patriots as no. 12 played and built a successful business out of it – TB12.

This season, the big receiver, Chris Godwin, had the number. Godwin said in March that if Brady did not want the number, he would keep it, but ‘I just think out of respect for what he did, what he achieved, just a kind of career he built for himself. .. had to lean so little in that regard. “
Jason Licht, general manager of Buccaneers, opened on Wednesday about Brady changing his number. Licht told Peter King NBC Sports about his conversation with Brady.

According to Licht, Brady insisted on not taking Godwin’s number at first. But he has a number to play with just in case.
